DNA Double Helix – A powerful video clip from our friends at www.IllustraMedia.com – Unlocking the Mystery of Life. The DNA Double Helix is one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time. First described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, DNA is the famous molecule of genetics that establishes each organism’s physical characteristics. It wasn’t until mid-2001, that the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics jointly presented the true nature and complexity of the digital code inherent in DNA. We now understand that each human DNA molecule is comprised of chemical bases arranged in approximately 3 billion precise sequences. Even the DNA molecule for the single-celled bacterium, E. coli, contains enough information to fill all the books in any of the world’s largest libraries. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double-stranded molecule that is twisted into a helix like a spiral staircase. Each strand is comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and numerous base chemicals attached in pairs. The four bases that make up the stairs in the spiraling staircase are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). These stairs act as the “letters” in the genetic alphabet, combining into complex sequences to form the words, sentences and paragraphs that act as instructions to guide the formation and functioning of the host cell. Maybe even more appropriately, the A, T, C and G in the genetic code of the DNA molecule can be compared to the “0″ and “1″ in the …

Yes, scientists figured it out. The same ones of accept evolution.
Natural selection governs evolution. Not Abiogenisis.
ID is not science, because scientists don’t do ID.

The universe is expanding at an expanding rate, it must have been smaller in the past.
clearly we can not deny the fact that each particles or molecules or proteins has particular functions which somehow bounded by a natural unseen instruction rules that create a well orchestrated design to make up a certain part for certain proteins or molecules or particles for a certain function which is absolutely can not be by chance.
Great animation!
Whether life was created by design or by random assembly is irrelevant. The process that generated life, as complex as it is, could still have been set in motion in a universe created by design.
The simplest group of amino acid molecules can be synthesized under the right environmental conditions a zillion times over. Over a half a billion years, the number of random environmental influences occurring to alter those acids is beyond astronomical.
Good Video!
As I have said before: The biblical view of the Bible IS NOT? IN CONFLICT WITH SCIENCE. It is in conflict with views that we start without a Creator.
I believe the Big Bang BY ITSELF is scientific probability. Probability is Chance. WE ARE NOT CHANCE.
“evolutionists have pretty sounding quotations which are complete BS.” -Me.
ok then. give me science’s “proof” regarding the natural, random, gradual formation of DNA. seems like science has “imagination” without any certainty.
i am just looking the images , and not there theories ……….. i wonder are the images really the same in the cells ?
good micro images
Evolution was based on the doctrine of Hegel (philosophy) through the use of the dialectic of philosophy. One must understand the Hebrew word “rib’ (Genesis 2), to understand the bible. Thew word rib is “tsela” which is from the Hebrew word “tsala” which means to curve. Since DNA was unknown in 1611 the writers dismissed the word curve. We all now know DNA as the helix curve. It makes since that God would have created Eve from Adams DNA “tsala or curve”.

its an eternal search. yet man seems content with that. almost sad isnt it?

This is a great video. I think evolution , natural selection , any part of the conditions of living that effect all life is a tool of God. And if you read in Genesis it says “Let Us create man” tells you God wasn’t working alone , because as the video mentioned , DNA is some complex crap , and during Genetic recombination your phenotypes have 27 raised to a power that is nine digits long. This would be your possible phenotypes. spooky.
Amazing, i now now why the bible says:
Psalm 14:1
Only fools say in their hearts,
There is no God.
I may add self deluded fools because they have the choice to beleive but their are willing rejecting this posibility why? because the mere existence of God force the to accept His moral laws. Its a moral issue so….
With a name like “TheSkyHitler” I’m not sure how seriously to take your comments. But let me say that “Fundamentalism” is a term you abuse here in your equivication regarding evolution. The idea you can compare Islamic fundamentalists denying females basic human rights and imposing their religion on entire countries with the producers of this clip is as ridiculous as it is false. Many muslims are aggresively uniformitarian in their view of our origins. Likewise many muslims are moderate.
you’ve missed the point completely, creation doesn’t retard science. I suggest getting your lines from another evolutionist crackpot.
It is terribly unfortunate that the majority of people who contest established scientific theories have no understanding of what they are actually TRYING to refute. Simply because something conflicts with your world view does not imply that it is wrong. Fundamentalism is inherently dangerous and destructive; it retards scientific and social development. And is incompatible with our Western values. If you dont believe me look at Islams conversion to fundamentalism.
No we simply know for a fact nature cannot produce DNA, humans can’t even do it!
Amazing.
More disgusting subtle propaganda by the allaboutxxx brainwashers.
Their intention is to inject doubt through subtle assumptions and messages. allaboutscience website is full of that type of stuff. Many claims throughout how science is flawed.
Everything in this series is propaganda. It’s disgusting, revolting, it’s fraudulent, manipulative.
“We don’t understand yet.” does not equate to “God did it.” Science is ongoing and this is but another area that will be explained with further research. ID is pure bunk and pseudoscience.
great explanation love DNA
we have a awesome God!
