DNA reveals God’s coded messages
SCIENCE | Growing knowledge of genetic analysis reveals detailed design everywhere by Julie Borg

As science’s ability to detect and sequence DNA improves, it becomes increasingly evident that creation is embedded with specific and complex coded messages that didn’t just appear out of nowhere.
Last week, scientists from the University of Florida and the Florida Museum of Natural History published a study identifying the exact species of shark that attacked a man 25 years ago. Jeff Weakley was bitten while surfing off Florida’s Flagler Beach in 1994. Just last year, he discovered a sliver of shark tooth embedded in his foot. Scientists were able to extract DNA from the pulp tissue of the tooth and identify his attacker as a blacktip shark.
“I was very excited to determine the identity of the shark because I’d always been curious,” Weakley said .
In another cold case—one with much more serious implications—police used genealogy testing to track down the suspect in a murder that happened 32 years ago in Washington state. Two weeks ago, a jury convicted William Earl Talbott II of two counts of aggravated murder after a trial decades in the making.
Scientists also recently learned how to gather and analyze DNA from environmental samples of soil, water, and air for information about the organisms that left bits of their genetic material behind. In a report published in Nature last month, molecular biologist Philip Thomsen extracted DNA from wildflowers picked from two grassland sites in Denmark and was able to detect more than 100 species of insects and arthropods that had visited them.
Those and a multitude of other discoveries show that virtually every spot on the planet harbors highly specific, coded messages with billions of letters in nonrepetitive DNA sequences. These messages tell molecules how to build tissue and organs, run complex metabolic processes, and construct brains, Discovery Institute experts noted on the organization’s blog, Evolution News & Science Today. “If these codes were written large on paper, it would be like walking on piles of blueprints and dictionaries at every step,” they said.
On a lifeless planet, a scientist would find only naturally occurring elements, every sample would react blindly to very predictable laws of nature, and equations could explain every process, the Discovery Institute noted. But on a life-filled planet, codes govern substances like tissues and organs and produce creatures that can fly or swim or think.
God put His fingerprint on our world in the clues and codes He left for us to discover.

You did not actually read this article did you? You copied and pasted what appeared to be (due to some strange formatting) an article by the author, Julie Borg, a clinical psychologist and writer who lives in Dayton, Ohio. But that single article was actually several entirely different articles by Julie.
Not that I am surprised by this.
Now, on the actual article, if you are going to posit the interpretation that DNA is the fingerprint of God, note that DNA also shows that human beings are just another life form that are the result of biochemical evolution. We were not specially created 6,000 years ago. DNA is evidence that special creation is nonsense.
So you better stick DNA in your category of pseudo science because DNA corroborates biochemical evolution.
Go to genuine scientific sources to deliver scientific articles.
Pretty sure that a particular far right wing prolific seeder who goes under many different names is paid to be here to disrupt any productive conversations.
Say it aint so.
You actually believe that 💩?
No, I am laughing with cjcold.
You really can’t stand it that there are still Christians who not only are evangelical and biblical literalists and believe in some form of creation and or design of the universe and humanity by God and that there’s nothing whatsoever that you can say or do to dissuade us of those beliefs.
Do not make me the subject XX.
You mean like you did to me along with the one you were laughing with at my expense?
I did read the article and that is how that site formats its science section articles. Michael Goodwin often formats his opinion articles in the NYPost in a similar manner with a big lead and smaller side points.
Now this line I do genuinely do not believe. Your copy and paste operation ends by your hand. It makes no sense to copy more than the article you wanted to emphasize unless you really wanted to talk about cookies with your DNA.
Give me a break man.
The parts of her World Magazine science feature about hidden consciousness and about fresh water aquifers on continental shelfs under the oceans seemed quite interesting.
The seeding site has been blessed by our board of censors. Also the quoted ideas in the article refers to Intelligent Design, not young earth creation.
I did not speak of Young Earth creationism but rather special creation. You should know the difference.
Did you or did you not refer to 6,000 years? That is a young earth number as we all know.
It is also a fundamentalist number. The YECs believe that humans and the planet (indeed, the universe) were created 6,000 years ago. But special creation fundamentalists also rely upon Archbishop Ussher's analysis in their belief that human beings were specially created 6,000 years ago (even if the Earth is far older).
Just goes to show how utterly unreliable faith is as a means of approximating truth. Get your approximation to truth by discovering what God ostensibly created ... pay attention to the findings of science.
God is the sole author of all the laws of science in this universe that He created.
DNA is proof of an intelligent design.
