Dna and the bible




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”
