THE HUMAN GENOME

Our design book, written in DNA,
Has but four letters in play.
And written, I am telling,
Without errors in the spelling,
Two billion times are they.

Who can doubt it took
A mighty fine cook
To write such a book?
And yet even finer
Must be the designer
Who designed the designer.


[A scientist and believer who helped "read" the human genome ("design book" or "design code") and is awed by it was interviewed on National Public Radio. He said there are 2.1 billion "letters" in the human genome; they are repeated in every cell in our bodies; there are only four "letters" in the DNA "alphabet;" 99.9% of the code is the same for all of us humans, and a minor "misspelling" can cause us serious problems.]
