Selfika na JF: Snap it. Show it

Now, of all the DNA in your body, only ten per cent of it is used for building proteins. This subset of DNA is what Western researchers examine and categorize. They consider the other ninety per cent that does not contain instructions for proteins “junk DNA.” However, Russian researchers who were convinced that “junk DNA” is worthy of further examination joined linguists and geneticists in an effort to explore this so-called “junk DNA.” Instead of junk, they found treasure. According to them, DNA is not only responsible for the construction of your body but also serves as data storage and plays a significant role in communication.

Russian linguists discovered that the genetic code, especially in the “junk DNA,” follows the same rules as all our human languages. They compared the rules of syntax (the way words are put together to form phrases and sentences). They looked at semantics (the study of meaning in language) along with the basic rules of grammar. They found that the components of our DNA follow a regular grammar and have set rules just like our natural languages. It also shows that the components of DNA are themselves a result of a language form. That means human languages did not appear coincidentally but are a reflection of what’s already inside our DNA. In other words, your ability to speak a language comes from your DNA’s ability to “speak” a language.

In 2000, at the culmination of an international DNA research project led by geneticist Francis Collins and more than a decade in the making, a globally televised press conference was held at the White House. With a global audience watching, a statement was made that would grab the world’s attention and forever change how we viewed our humanity. An almost reverend silence filled the briefing room; not even the shutter of a camera lens could be heard. It was as if the people stilled themselves, bracing in anticipation of the impact of what was about to be said. Then in a voice of quiet triumph, President Clinton echoed the words of Dr Collins, words that would transform our understanding of everything.

“Today, we are learning the language in which God created life.” After years of rigorous research, Dr Collins had discovered the language of God!
