Unlocking the Mystery of Life

Did you know that there is a little machine inside of each cell that untwists your DNA so that it can be transcribed using a messenger RNA which is then moved into the manufacturing part of your cell where it is put into a little two-part building machine which then matches the code with one of 20 specific amino acids to form a chain that is moved into a tumbling machine that helps it fold into a protein? (And that is only one part of the process.)

If you randomly dropped Scrabble letters onto a table, what are the chances they would ever fall in such a way as to line-up and make one complete sentence? And DNA has millions of lines of code.

And some people actually think this all happened by some big cosmic accident or by chance. Ha! That's not science, that's science fiction.

I recommend you view the Unlocking the Mystery of Life video if you get the chance.

My vote is that it's just bad Fiction! Not any science involved.
