"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I
am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very
well." (Psalm 139:13-14)
"A single human chromosome contains twenty billion bits of information. How much information
is twenty billion bits? What would be its equivalent, if it were written down in an ordinary printed
book in modern human language? Twenty billion bits are the equivalent of about three billion
letters. If there are approximately six letters in an average word, the information content of a
human chromosome corresponds to about five hundred million words. If there are about three
hundred words on an ordinary page of printed type, this corresponds to about two million pages.
If a typical book contains five hundred such pages, the information content of a single
chromosome corresponds to some four thousand volumes. It is clear, then, that the chromosome
contains an enormous library of information. It is equally clear that so rich a library is required to
specify so exquisitely constructed and intricately functioning object as a human being." (From Dr.
Carl Sagan in The Dragons of Eden)
Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made by an awesome Creator.
