Genetic Science: Old and New
♦
What is DNA?
DNA is a nucleic acid made up of millions of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is made up of a sugar molecule, a phosphate molecule, and a nitrogen base. The sugar and phosphate molecules are identical in every nucleotide, but there are four different bases, known as adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). So the DNA consists of two strands of millions of nucleotides strung together. The two strands are bound together through hydrogen bonds between the bases. The two strands twist around each other to form the so-called double helix – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)
How Did Life Begin?
In the 1920s two scientists, Alexander Oparin of the Soviet Union and J. B. S. Haldane of England, independently presented a hypothesis for the origin of life from inorganic material by chance circumstances. Briefly, Oparin and Haldane speculated that the early Earth had an atmosphere consisting of hydrogen, water, methane and ammonia. This early atmosphere was exposed to energy from solar radiation and lightning, they hypothesized, that led to the formation of organic compounds. These organic compounds formed what was called a primordial or prebiotic soup in the oceans. The prebiotic soup built up and eventually a primitive organism formed from these organic compounds that could replicate itself, and life began.
Om 1953, two biochemists, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey, designed an experiment that was supposed to approximate the conditions of the Earth when life was formed. They sent an electric charge through the mixture of gases believed to be present in the atmosphere of the early Earth. The Miller-Urey experiment produced nothing that was nearly as complex as a living organism and only two of the twenty amino acids used to “construct” a protein of a living organism.
The enthusiasm waned considerably over the years. Hundreds of experiments similar to the Miller-Urey experiment conducted since then have yielded organic compounds that are little to no closer to the extremely complex compounds found in a living organism, than the original experiment.
A one-celled bacterium today has its own DNA, RNA, and the capacity of producing about 100 proteins. Our very brief review of molecular biology demonstrates the complexity of just one living cell and of protein synthesis. We saw that a protein usually consists of at least 200 amino acids that must be strung together in an exact arrangement in order for the protein to properly carry out its function. Clearly, a bacterium that can produce a 100 proteins, enough to sustain and replicate itself, is not a simple organism. Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, as well as protein molecules consist of hundreds to billions of atoms and have very complex three-dimensional structures – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)
The Fossil Record
There is no evidence in the fossil record of a gradual evolution from something simpler than a one-celled organism to a one-celled organism – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)
Furthermore, there is no evidence of a prebiotic soup – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)
…virtually all scientists today believe that living cells cannot commonly be generated from their chemical ingredients by random process – Robert Shapiro (Biologist)
Darwin Was Wrong
This pattern of shift from few species in many groups to many species in fewer groups, flatly contradicts Darwinian gradualism; for if evolution proceeded by species accumulating small variations, we should see over long periods new orders, classes and phyla emerging with increasing frequency. But just the opposite occurs in the fossils. Darwin’s model is backward – R. Augros and G. Stanciu (The New Biology: Discovering the Wisdom in Nature)
As Michael Denton points out in his book, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, using a poorly sampled fossil record to blunt criticism was a bit weak, even in Darwin’s time. Denton illustrates that, even though 99.9 percent of all fossil discoveries and their study has been done since the publication of Origin of the Species in 1859, almost all fossil species discovered have been either closely related to forms known in Darwin’s time. No undoubted transitional fossil has been found more than 130 years after Darwin introduced the theory – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)
Since Darwin’s day, biology and neo-Darwinism have maintained that competition, the struggle for existence, dominates relationships between species. However, competition is rarely observed among wild animals of a different species. Similar species living in the same area avoid competition by dividing their habitats into ecological niches – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)
Catastrophism
The occurrence of mass extinctions in the Earth’s geological past is another problem of the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution. Instead of being out-competed by forms that possessed “more favorable variations,” as Darwin theorized, many, if not most species and higher categories that became extinct, vanished from the life-history of the Earth in some form of mass extinction – A. D. Horn (Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins)

Deformity from Radiation
…radiation blasts were harming fetuses and newborns which terrified the populace. But, one of the most striking and telltale lines here is that Skanda became “goat-faced.” We shall see this from the Vedas to the goat-lined sphinx’s at Karnak and in every ancient text, always the mark of the evil one, just as mythology has told us. The lineages from Indra were all dolichocephalic while the original Niburians were lion-faced, or mesocephalic. Our Satan, in the Bible, or Indra, is suffering from an acute pathocrine disorder, probably acute acromegaly. His thyroid and pituitary has either been in contact with radioactive properties and/or affected by the magnetic reversal. Always he is represented with mishappened horns like a goat, no doubt firboromas and the most identifying trademark, his offspring are androgynous. To these people, what we take for granted, was a disaster to them - Lana Cantrell (The Greatest Story Never Told)
It is believed by one researcher that DNA is itself an electromagnetic generator with RNA as an amplifier, the cell wall a noise filter and amino acids and enzymes as effectors of signals - (See Biological and Clinical Effects of Low-Frequency Magnetic and Electric Fields, by J. G. Laurado)
Junk DNA
The big surprise to the scientists was that active genes make up only tiny fractions of the entire genome. Incredibly, they only make up 3 percent of the total DNA in our chromosomes. The genes are either alone or clustered together in larger groups, but in between each gene sequence, there are long stretches of DNA which do not appear to contain any type of code for anything. These stretches have now been referred to by scientists as “Junk DNA,” mainly because they have not figured out what secret message it contains - Michael Tellinger (Slave Species of God)
General Notes on Genetics
In 1980 a ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court permitted the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office to grant a PATENT on a genetically engineered "oil-eating" bacterium. The bacterium was categorized as a "non-natural manmade microorganism." Over the following eight years, some 200 patents were granted for bacteria, viruses, and plants that had been genetically modified. In 1988 a patent was granted on a mouse strain in which the cells had been engineered to contain a cancer-predisposing gene sequence (activated oncogene sequence). Technically referred to as a "transgenic nonhuman eukaryotic animal," each mouse of this type can be used to test low doses of cancer-causing substances and to test the effectiveness of drugs considered as possibly offering protection against the development of cancer.
1997 was the year of the first successful cloning of mammals, a sheep and a monkey. Immediately President Bill Clinton signed a law making it illegal to experiment with or clone a human being.
The cloning of mammals was the next necessary step before the introduction of combining different sequences of DNA in to the nucleus to create whole new life forms.
