DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a blueprint of every single detail of a human being. Every other living species on our planet contains their own unique DNA.

Each human cell contains a massive amount of information. Imagine stretching out a single cell of DNA and realising it would be reach to around six feet in length. Stretching out the trillions of cells in an average human body would reach around 15 billion miles in length!

One can repeat the same exercise for each species on planet Earth. All this information is basically a code that defines every single living thing on planet Earth.

The DNA code consists of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Each human cell contains about 3 billion bases of DNA. This DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). An individual human cell contains approximately three billion bases of DNA. This is a huge amount of information and it is inconceivable that it could occur by random chance!

DNA can replicate itself as it does when cells divide and both resulting cells contains an exact copy of the DNA in the original cell. The body can identify damaged DNA and repair the damage. This repair mechanism would go against the idea that the DNA could create new genetic material which could result a new species! The DNA in all living beings naturally corrects what is sees as a fault.

But damaged DNA that can be passed on to the next generation. This is almost always detrimental, even harmful, to the offspring. There are all sorts of consequences in people that are the result from incorrect DNA programming and these result in negative consequences for the animal or human

We don't see 'improvements' in people as each generation is born. There are approximately seven billion people alive on the earth at this moment. None of them were born with any new features that were an improvement on the current model of the human being!

Junk DNA

Junk DNA, more often referred to as 'noncoding DNA', was believed to be remnants from previous species as they evolved.

But there have been recent findings that at least some of the junk DNA has been discovered to have known biological functions. These include transcriptional and translational regulation of protein-coding sequences. The idea that junk DNA was the remnants of evolution of species appears to have no basis. It was just made up to support the idea of evoltion!

The human genome is complex!

Thise study indicates that the genes and the junk DNA are part of an intricate control network, which is far to complex to have evolved by chance! Junk DNA is not unwanted DNA from previous evolutionary steps.
