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

Already distancing yourself I see.

Correct, Surgenator claimed the ratio 34/23.7, which I said that the ratio of those numbers was 1.434 and that 34/23.7 was not a ratio.

And you were wrong on that count. A ratio can be expressed multiple ways, including 34/23.7. The reason nobody responded is because they couldn't believe that you were stupid enough to believe otherwise. And you still haven't responded to the main point. Here, I'll repeat it for you.

I was not wrong, the whole point was about how you could take the dimensions of DNA, divide them together and get the golden ratio.
In my case the numbers were 34 and 21 which when divided together comes out as the ratio of 1.61, I made this clear from the beginning, any other "expression" of a ratio isn't relevant.

Further more a ratio can be expressed also as a fraction if you are saying that 34/23.7 is a fraction, explain the decimal point?

otherwise a ":" between the numbers is the proper way of displaying a ratio.

Huggy, it's been proposed to you that 23.7 Å is an accurate measure of the width of the most common configuration of DNA in solution, B-DNA. 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?

Cue Huggy arguing about the meaning of words.....

I Disagree,

Remember you accusing me of cherry picking?

Dimensions of B-form (the most common) of DNA

0.34 nm between bp, 3.4 nm per turn, about 10 bp per turn
1.9 nm (about 2.0 nm or 20 Angstroms) in diameter

Surgenators, own link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

DNA is a long polymer made from repeating units called nucleotides.[3][4][5] DNA was first identified and isolated by Friedrich Miescher and the double helix structure of DNA was first discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick, using experimental data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. The structure of DNA of all species comprises two helical chains each coiled round the same axis, and each with a pitch of 34 ångströms (3.4 nanometres) and a radius of 10 ångströms (1.0 nanometres).

These two sources agree that the width is 20 Å, making my original number of 21 alot closer than your 23.7, which you claim to be the most common.

There is no such thing as fibonacci sequence, - Chuck

weird way of agreeing...

I'm sure there are much riper cherries to pick out of his post if you really tried.

I don't know how I can misconstrue the phrase "There is no such thing as fibonacci sequence" as meaning he doesn't believe the fibonacci sequence exists.
I think anyone familiar with the English language would come to the same conclusion.
