Your body, is made up of about 100 trillion cells. Inside each of those cells is a tiny rope like structure known as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It stores most of the information needed to build your entire body. How much information does DNA contain? Compare the storage capacity of one gram of DNA with that of a compact disc (CD). A CD can store all the information contained in a dictionary, which is impressive considering that a CD is merely a thin disc of plastic. However, just one gram of DNA can store as much information as one trillion CDs! To put it another way, a single teaspoonful of dried DNA can store enough information to build 350 times as many humans as are alive today! (Which is more reasonable to believe, that it happened by random chance or by intelligent design?)
