Scientists Find Second "Hidden Language" in the Human Genetic Code

Professor John Stamatoyannopoulos

Geneticists have discovered a second language code hiding with DNA that overthrows 40 years of scientific assumptions. "Since the genetic code was deciphered in the 1960s, scientists have assumed it was used exclusively to write information about proteins, but University of Washington scientists say they've discovered genomes use the genetic code to write two separate 'languages.' One, long understood, describes how proteins are made, while the other instructs the cell on how genes are controlled. One language is written on top of the other, which is why the second language remained hidden for so long, a university release said Thursday" ("Scientists Find Second," Breitbart.com, Dec. 12, 2013). Professor John Stamatoyannopoulos of the University of Washington says: "These new findings highlight that DNA is an incredibly powerful information storage device, which nature has fully exploited in unexpected ways." That is an amazing statement. How could blind "nature" have created a language code so incredibly complex that it has taken thousands of top-flight modern scientists, decades to figure out its mere rudiments? The very existence of DNA is evidence for a Creator for those who are not willfully blind.
