    DNA EXPLAINED IN EASY TERMS

    Source:http://www.scientific.org/tutorials/art … riley.html

    DNA is material that governs inheritance of eye color, hair color, stature, bone density and many other human and animal traits.  DNA is a long, but narrow string-like object. 

    A one foot long string or strand of DNA is normally packed into a space roughly equal to a cube 1/millionth of an inch on a side.  This is possible only because DNA is a very thin string.

    Our body's cells each contain a complete sample of our DNA. 

    One cell is roughly equal in size to the cube described in the previous paragraph.  There are muscle cells, brain cells, liver cells, blood cells, sperm cells and others. 

    Basically, every part of the body is made up of these tiny cells and each contains a sample or complement of DNA identical to that of every other cell within a given person. 

    There are a few exceptions. 

    For example, our red blood cells lack DNA.  Blood itself can be typed because of the DNA contained in our white blood cells. 

    Not only does the human body rely on DNA but so do most living things including plants, animals and bacteria. 

    A strand of DNA is made up of tiny building-blocks.  There are only four, different basic building-blocks.  Scientists usually refer to these using four letters, A,  T,  G,  and C. 

    These four letters are short nicknames for more complicated building-block chemical names, but actually the letters (A,T, G and C) are used much more commonly than the chemical names so the latter will not be mentioned here.  Another term for DNA's building blocks is the term, "bases."  A, T, G and C are bases.

    For example, to refer to a particular piece of DNA, we might write:  AATTGCCTTTTAAAAA.  This is a perfectly acceptable way of describing a piece of DNA. Someone with a machine called a DNA synthesizer could actually synthesize the same piece of DNA from the information AATTGCCTTTTAAAAA alone. 

    The sequence of bases (letters) can code for many properties of the body's cells.  The cells can read this code.  Some DNA sequences encode important information for the cell.  Such DNA is called, not surprisingly, "coding DNA."  Our cells also contain much DNA that doesn't encode anything that we know about.  If the DNA doesn't encode anything, it is called non-coding DNA or sometimes, "junk DNA."[1] 

    The DNA code, or genetic code as it is called, is passed through the sperm and egg to the offspring.  A single sperm cell contains about three billion bases consisting of A, T, G and C that follow each other in a well defined sequence along the strand of DNA.  Each egg cell also contains three billion bases arranged in a well-defined sequence very similar, but not identical to the sperm.

    Both coding and non-coding DNAs may vary from one individual to another.  These DNA variations can be used to identify people or at least distinguish one person from another.

    Seems it is definitely a code, (a scientist tells us, so it must be true) and as codes do not just 'happen'....

    WHO CREATED THE CODE?

          Bullshit. Of course that's true over a short period of time, but it's been soooo long.

          Also, you are assuming that DNA is perfect and human DNA is the final stage. Most DNA is junk DNA, and often there are mistakes made causing genetic conditions and such like. You're giving it's existence a PURPOSE. Once you've given it that then you start playing with odds. It wasn't something destined to happened, and it has happened. You could say there's an equally small chance of just about anything, but just because there are low odds against that possibility doesn't mean other odds were higher. It's just the way it panned out. I don't think you think in the right way to understand any of that, so I may have wasted my breath.

                  Oh and a quick f**k you. STOP REFERRING TO THE THINGS YOU ARE SENDING AS 'SCIENCE'. Science is not a cognitive mind, or an attempt, like religious drones. It does not work like that. Different people think different things, and often ideas contradict, so we keep searching until something can be defined as fact. You cannot just look at someone who does science and then say they stand for science in general with their viewpoint. You are an idiot.

      The law of probabilities....

      Consider the following sentence:

      “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”

      What are the chances of that sentence occurring by random chance?

      It’s easy to find the answer.

      It has 43 letters and spaces. Excluding things like apostrophes and semicolons and numbers, there are 26 upper case letters and 26 lower case letters to choose from. So there are 52 to the power of 43 possible combinations of letters.

      52^43 = 6.139652×10^73

      Which means the chances of this sentence occurring randomly are 1 chance in

      61,396,520,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

      (There are only 10^80 particles in the universe.)

      So the chances of this sentence appearing by random chance are not much better than painting one atom red, somewhere in the far flung reaches of universe, then having some other person actually find it by accident, blindfolded.

      You might be starting to wonder if the old story about monkeys and typewriters eventually producing the works of Shakespeare is true.

      It’s NOT.

      As a matter of fact such a thing is far more absurd than accidentally finding one red atom in the universe.

    What a bizarre place to take the concept of DNA encoding.  When they talk about codes, they aren't talking about secret messages or transcribed letters.  It is no more a "code' requiring a writer than the chemical reaction that creates salt.

    Obviously if you believe that God created the universe and all its inhabitants, then that is the conclusion you will draw.  However, there is nothing telling about scientists using the word code nor does it imply that all codes have to have an original writer.

            First off- who do you think you are telling me, what I must have realized?

            As a matter of FACT - I hold NO DOUBT that "GOD" doesn't exist.

            How I came to that conclusion, was thru diligent work of over 20+ years of research on "religion" and how it was formed?

            Something you wouldn't even consider, because you're blinded by your faith. I learned that "GOD", the supposed 'creator' of life on Earth DOES NOT EXIST, by any stretch of the imagination. It's those people who delve deeply into religious study who find this out. Less than 1% of the people who have any form of religious belief, can not see the truth of the matter, because they themselves have thinking of belief in "GOD", but are not seriously involved in religion.



            And, just in case you didn't know- Religion is a BUSINESS and nothing more. It is a business that is based on a code of ethics, bound to a higher cause.

            That simple. And, had you taken the time to research your pathetic religious beliefs, instead of taking the 'leap' of faith that you had.....then you would have known the difference.

            As for 'Atheism', it's also a religion. It's based on the same, a code of ethics, based on a higher cause. The fact that you don't or can't see that is, because you're blindful faith is not allowing your rationally think about it.

            So, you can have at it. I know what I need to know and I know beyond any shadow of doubt that your supposed "GOD" isn't real, nor does he, him, it, reside in your objective reality, we know as life.

    Who created the genetic code? Hmmmm. An incredibly inept something I would have to say. I say that because DNA has a horrible habit of mutating and causing things like cancer and horrible genetic defects that some humans, including small children, must endure.

    If something did create DNA - and no evidence to date has shown this to be the case - then the designer of DNA was certainly not omnipotent. I think we should discuss all of the wonderful things that DNA does. We could start with the fact that the Ebola virus, HIV and other wonderful microscopic organisms use DNA to do their thing.

                Well at last you are learning...

                Here's from the article quoted:

                The research shows that the system can sustain molecular information, a form of heritability, and give rise to variations of itself in a way akin to Darwinian evolution. So, says Lincoln, "What we have is non-living, but we've been able to show that it has some life-like properties, and that was extremely interesting."

                The group is pursuing potential applications of their discovery in the field of molecular diagnostics, but that work is tied to a research paper currently in review, so the researchers can't yet discuss it.

                But the main value of the work, according to Joyce, is at the basic research level. "What we've found could be relevant to how life begins, at that key moment when Darwinian evolution starts." He is quick to point out that, while the self-replicating RNA enzyme systems share certain characteristics of life, they are not themselves a form of life.

                The historical origin of life can never be recreated precisely, so without a reliable time machine, one must instead address the related question of whether life could ever be created in a laboratory. This could, of course, shed light on what the beginning of life might have looked like, at least in outline. "We're not trying to play back the tape," says Lincoln of their work, "but it might tell us how you go about starting the process of understanding the emergence of life in the lab."
                Joyce says that only when a system is developed in the lab that has the capability of evolving novel functions on its own can it be properly called life. "We're knocking on that door," he says, "But of course we haven't achieved that."

                The subunits in the enzymes the team constructed each contain many nucleotides, so they are relatively complex and not something that would have been found floating in the primordial ooze.

                Get back to me when all the 'could/maybe and possibly's' become definitive certainties, like all evo theory it's scrapping around in it's own 'primordial ooze' searching for any way to attack God.

                    The important point the paper is making is that a self-replicating system has been demonstrated.

                    It is not the way of science to make definitive statements. Absolute proof is not possible. If a hypothesis is not disproved, it gains some validity, but will never be definitive. Hypotheses are created within the prevailing paradigm, but sooner or later the paradigm will be smashed, and new hypotheses will be required (cf Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn)

            I guess I would have to believe in the authority of the Bible in order to buy into that explanation.

            Do you believe that the sin that we let into our lives began in a garden 6,000 years ago when two naked people bit into a piece of fruit from a magic tree at the behest of a talking snake?

              Evolutionism- Long ago and far away nothing exploded and everything came to be earth(0+0=1) was a hot molten planet and with millions of years of rained cooled down and created we became soup(proteins can’t form in water) and a miracle occurred that life came from non-life(never observed we have no proof of this and we can’t duplicate it but please have faith). A fish-like creator came out of a lake with lungs or gill(the jury is still out) had to find something to eat and had to learn how to see eat, smell, and mate(again no proof) and the princess kissed the frog and the frog through billions of years(using flawed dating methods, with numerous faulty assumptions) became man. That’s logical? I don’t have that much faith.

              Creation- IN THE BEGINING GOD CREATED. Proof: The Holy Bible and everything we see, and observable science.
              I'll stick with The Creation Account.

              I believe that this was the best analogy God could deliver to men 4,000 years ago when the divine inspiration took place that gave us Genesis, but frankly I don't care to get tangled about something which even the best brains on the planet today can work out - How life began.... I have proof of God in my everyday life, how can I deny what I know to be truth?

              Science makes a brave attempt in trying to ID what happened, but real scientists (as opposed to an internet blatherer) will admit that they cannot PROVE their evolutionary theory, they may have a problem in admitting Gods existence, in today's PC insane society, any God fearing scientist has to keep quiet in the same way that a Catholic scientist needed to keep quiet for opposing reasons in the Dark Ages.

              The Inquisition still lives, it's just run by atheists now days but they still seek to silence open debate that disagrees with their beliefs.

        However most mutations are products of induced mutations, not spontaneous. So environmental factors have more of an influence than a random mutation or mistake in DNA.

    Adenine
    Guanine
    Tyrosine
    Cytosine (or Uracil in RNA)

    These are purines (A,G) and pyrimidines (T,C) that are two groups of nitrogenous bases. Nucleotides are made of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2'-deoxyribose), and one to three phosphate groups. This chain of nucleotides is what makes up DNA or RNA.

    The nitrogenous bases create codons (a series of 3 bases) that code for the 20 (well known) amino acids. Amino acids code for proteins smile

Because every time they came up with ration and logic, the idiots using this 'riddle', which it barely is, they get nowhere because of stubborn idiotic mules, and decide to rejoin the sane population.

          There's one to get you started, but there are many more out there.

          Also, why single out DNA as an anomaly? Just because most codes seem to be created by a mind, why should DNA have to be? This seems a bizzare form of seperation...

      Some perhaps, but most has no CURRENT function. It may have served a purpose in the past, it may not, and we may never know. But, my point is this. If god had created human DNA, why do we have DNA now or ever, that serves no purpose? Why design our eyes to broadcast images upside down for them to have to be righted by the brain? Why genetic defects? I sense god's 'creation' needs a bit of repairwork.
