Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

Since the agreed pitch of the DNA helix is 34 Å, this would make the ratio of pitch to width far enough from Phi as to disqualify Phi as a reasonable approximation of its ratio. Wikipedia also notes that the major groove of DNA is 22 Å, and the minor groove is 12 Å. This ratio too does not in a reasonable sense approximate Phi. Thus the two ratios which in your initial figure showed both as being approximately Phi, the conclusion based upon the numbers that have been suggested as accurate is that the ratios given in your initial figure are inaccurate and that Phi is not obviously reflected in the dimensions of DNA.

Do you agree or disagree with any of this data or the conclusions formed based on that data?

I'll explain my position, but need you to clarify one thing, you never stated what the ratio of the pitch to the width is, (the reason for this whole debate) please make clarify, to make your position clear.

You appear to think that a ratio can only be represented in one way - that is simply not true.

27:21 is a ratio, 27.2/20.9 is a ratio.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
