DNA AND THE BIBLE
The cells of our bodies hold the genetic
code tightly compacted into chromosomes, folded and spiraled within our cells.
Each chromosome holds millions of dna
sequences, each very specific to our species. When cells replicate,
certain sequences are used to create a template on rna, which in turn directs
the replication in dna, a process called transcription. This process holds the
key to procreation, that part of us which has the signature of God in us and
allows us to participate in the creation of a new life. But in that transcription, only a fraction of
the dna sequences are used. The rest just stay there.
The Bible is our dna sequence. It contains
so much material, but suddenly, a few verses come together to create real
meaning for us, and permit us to see beyond the veil at a certain aspect of our
creator.
The Genome project has sequences the entire
dna on 42+ 2 chromosomes of the human. A scientist can draw on this to
determine the process that spawns diseases. Most diseases are being tracked to
that code containing a series of amino acid sequences that may be responsible
for the entire organism going awry.
How well do we know our code for life? Do
we really track our psychopathic personalities and behavioural aberrations to
seek their relevance using the code that is available to all of us? Scientists
have spent lifetimes to prise this knowledge out from the tangible world. And
in each of our homes lies the secret to our behavioural sequencing, the Bible.
However, it often gathers dust, and when read, it is read perfunctorily. We
often emerge more confused and bewildered, still clueless while the clue sits
right in our hands, like the dna that lies dormant in our cells.
No wonder the wisest man who ever lived
asked us to “Search for it like hidden treasure”
