Something to chew on and stand in wonder at:
In each of the 37 trillion cells of your body, there is a six foot strand of tightly wound DNA that contains all the information that makes you you. But the 20,000 genomes that contain your unique coding fit on approximately one inch of that six foot strand.
The other 98% of DNA was once called “junk DNA” because scientists didn’t know what it was used for. Now they are discovering that this junk DNA is like “Google maps” with switches that turn on and off genes.
Researchers studying it have generated 15 trillion bytes of raw data which would require 300 years of computer time to analyze. Wow. There is so much information in our DNA that we can’t even fathom it all. It dwarfs our own limited intelligence and makes Google seem like a child’s notebook.
Where did all that unfathomable wisdom and incomprehensible information come from?
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
Psalm 139:14
