Quotes:
Book of Jasher: 18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. (27) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
“DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead
“The information contained in an English sentence or computer software does not derive from the chemistry of the ink or the physics of magnetism, but from a source extrinsic to physics and chemistry altogether. Indeed, in both cases, the message transcends the properties of the medium. The information in DNA also transcends the properties of its material medium.”
― Stephen C. Meyer, Darwinism, Design and Public Education
“There were long stretches of DNA in between genes that didn't seem to be doing very much; some even referred to these as "junk DNA," though a certain amount of hubris was required for anyone to call any part of the genome "junk," given our level of ignorance.”
― Francis S. Collins, The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief
“Science has discovered that, like any work of literature, the human genome is a text in need of commentary, for what Eliot said of poetry is also true of DNA: 'all meanings depend on the key of interpretation.' What makes us human, and what makes each of us his or her own human, is not simply the genes that we have buried into our base pairs, but how our cells, in dialogue with our environment, feed back to our DNA, changing the way we read ourselves. Life is a dialectic.”
― Jonah Lehrer, Proust Was a Neuroscientist
"It is humbling for me and awe inspiring to realise that we have caught the first glimpse of our own instruction book, previously known only to God."
Dr Francis Collins, Human Genome Project
"Today we are learning the language in which God created life."
US President Bill Clinton
"We've now got to the point in human history where for the first time we are going to hold in our hands the set of instructions to make a human being."
Dr John Sulston, UK Sanger Centre
"The deciphering of the book of life, is a milestone in science."
French Research Minister Roger-Gerard Schwartzenberg

Contrast light to shadow. The shadow of the past repeats, just as the Bible stated.
Matthew 24
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

Only more nonsense.
BP Oil Spill - fukushima - Iran - Russia - 911 - and all that is yet to happen. We still have the East wind and the harvest being taken away. Birth pangs. You've not seen anything yet.

How can I understand anything you are attempting to convey if all you are willing to post is nonsensical riddles and biblical hooey that does not apply to the real world?

I think what many people want to say, StrongWaters, is that although it is nice to spend time in the goal of making links between life and spirituality... none of science is meant to be accredited to any religion. Neither, is science meant to be translatable into any kind of faith. For example, the science of aerodynamics is in no way connected to Jesus directly. I say directly, because down the road, everything is connected indirectly.

But the tagline of your avatar says to stop asking why and start asking how. I ask how. I already know why. Not to be condescending, but the how is interesting. It is also very simple to see. Aleph Bet (Father). Think it through. Where is the seed of DNA planted? In the Alepm Mem (Mother). She is the cup / grail they have searched for. What comes from the union of Father (Letters) and Mother (Water / Catalyst)? The Son, or Bet Nun. Bet is House and Nun is Seed. The House of Seed is the first image.
Seriously, sit and read the science in this. Compare to the video. It's an amazing video and well worth the time. No religion in it. Just a mirror of it. Just watch 6 minutes, then you will want to watch the rest.
Colossians 1
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
If you miss the science in this, you don't know what science is currently saying.

There is no science to be construed from the nonsense you conveyed.
You are as naive and gullible as every other theist that ever lived. You think special meaning is to be gleaned from mere anything, not because there is actual meaning there. Rather, meaning is placed there by you because it is what you seek.

Gullible ears open to nonsensical faith.

I'm still ready to help you learn about molecular genetics, OP. I think you would greatly benefit from a large dose of textbooks and research papers to counteract the youtube. It's still cringingly awful. I get paid to teach college and high school kids how to navigate professional literature, and here I am offering my services for free.
