Now, this next part is going to get a little more sciencey so if science puts you to sleep I totally understand your skipping ahead. However, I will try to keep it relativity simple. A lot of people believe only one or the other, either science or religion can be right and that science proves religion false which just isn't so. As a matter of fact science proves religion correct to anybody that doesn't have blinders on. I believe everybody knows what DNA is. Otherwise known as Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. Instructions also known as information. You can fit the entirety of an encyclopedia onto a single strand of DNA. One gram of DNA can potentially hold up to 455 exabytes of data, according to the New Scientist magazine. For reference: There are one billion gigabytes in an exabyte, and 1,000 exabytes in a zettabyte. The cloud computing company EMC estimated that there were 1.8 zettabytes of data in the world in 2011, which means we would need only about 4 grams (about a teaspoon) of DNA to hold everything from Plato through the complete works of Shakespeare to Beyonce’s latest album not to mention every cat video out there. How many megabytes of genetic data are stored in the human body? For simplicity’s sake, let’s ignore the microbiome (all non-human cells that live in our body), and focus only on the cells that make up our body. Estimates for the number of cells in the human body range between 10 trillion and 100 trillion. Let us take 100 trillion cells as the generally accepted estimate. So, given that each diploid cell contains 1.5 GB of data (this is very approximate, as I am only accounting for the diploid cells and ignoring the haploid sperm and egg cells in our body), the approximate amount of data stored in the human body is:
1.5 Gbytes x 100 trillion cells = 150 trillion Gbytes or 150×10^12 x 10^9 bytes = 150 Zettabytes (10^21)!!!
Why is this so important? And how does this prove the existence of God? It is simple really. How many books just happened without the existence of an author? How many houses were built without a builder? So, if not God who made the first humans? And the amount of information involved in creating the first humans? A
Chromosome is a condensed form of DNA. So,
1 chromosome = 1 DNA molecule
Human body has two sets of chromosomes (diploid), each set having 23 chromosomes.
Therefore in one cell there are 46 chromosomes.
46 chromosomes = 46 DNA molecules
(Remember each DNA molecule is of different size here.)
There are more than 37 trillion cells in human body.
46 DNA molecules per cell × 37 trillion cells = 1702 trillion DNA molecules
Still think there is no God? If so, you have more faith than me.
