You have no idea how DNA works if you think it's only in a person's heart. DNA isn't only in the blood. It's in our bones, our marrow, our skin, our hair...and so much more. He may as well of said "the word is written in our toenail clippings" if he was really referring to DNA.
No, more likely the author was referring to the archaic notion that people's emotions and thoughts came from the heart. The bible is simply old-ass bullshit, no matter what spin you might want to put on it.
And how do you know God looks like the man in the mirror? I thought he was a spirit, or was it a burning bush...oh, right, Genesis says he made man in his image. Well, I guess we'll chalk this one up to cherry picking what you want out of the Bible to fit what you believe him to look like.
I think you're a little quick on the moron and a little short on the metaphor.
I'm just glad I was around to debunk another short-sighted claim. Whew.
