THE LANGUAGE OF OUR CELLS Does DNA Point to a Designer? Was the
language of DNA programmed by a designer–or by chance? Consider
for a moment the cathedral-like structure of a snowflake under a
microscope. Look at the beauty. Look at the complexity. Look at
the originality of each individual flake. Surely this is
evidence for a grand designer in the universe. Well, no,
actually it’s not—no more so than the burned enchilada of a
woman in Mexico that apparently revealed the image of Jesus
(though in the photo it did kind of look like him). Although
crystalline forms of a snowflake are beautiful and impressive,
designs of this type abound in nature, and natural processes can
and do produce them. Neo-Darwinists believe that natural
selection and favorable mutations are the total explanation for
the appearance of design in nature. But what if complexity in
nature is discovered that is not explainable by natural
selection and chance mutations? What if, unlike our snowflake
and enchilada examples, scientists discover
