The Complexity of the Human Genome
The human genome is the longest word we've ever discovered. It's written in a chemical language of four letters. And all those letters, strung out like a computer program, have got to be in the right order. Otherwise, it breaks down. So we're dealing with something absolutely gigantic in terms of probabilities before we even think of the extra complexity that arises through the folding of the proteins. That's the information beyond DNA that controls having lower level information as used. I prefer an explanation that makes sense to one that doesn't make sense.
