Not enough room in DNA

The human genome contains approximately 800 megabytes of information (How many gigabytes or terabytes of data is in the human genome?, How many bits are in the human genome? - Everything2.com). About the same as a small hard drive or, put another way, something on the order of 200 volumes of text. Does anyone seriously believe that every last detail of human anatomy (from toenails to hair), physiology, and supposedly genetically determined behavior could fit in 200 textbooks? I think not. The genome is, supposedly, the mechanism of evolution. If this mechanism isn't valid, if there's not enough room on the DNA, then evolution collapses. We don't just have a designer, we have a CREATOR.Edited by jpatterson, : Per suggestions of admin.

Hi Jpatterson,This could be an interesting subject to discuss. However, you will have to elaborate it more before I promote it.- Where did you get the '800' megabytes information ? You have to cite your source.- Does this relate to the Cre/Evo/ID debate ? If so, it would be great if you could say how.- You should develop your own position on the subject as clearly as possible. Others who will reply will do the same and want to be able to know what you think about all this.You can just 'edit' your text with the lower-right button on your post. Once this is done send my a private message and I will come and see if it is ready to be promoted.

I have edited my original post per your suggestion.
