Recently i learnt from my lecturer that " if we unwound the 46 strands of chromosomes from a single cell, and link them end to end, the distance is 8000 times from Earth to moon and back to Earth" wait a minute..... take some time to try to visualise it.....Wah piang!!! For a moment I cannot comprehend such an analogy... all these 46 strands of chromosomes present in each and every cell we have, contains all the information that is needed for us to exist and grow from birth til death. Such a huge set of information/instruction, yet it has to be packed into a single cell nucleus, which an unaided human eye can't even see.

I just finished a book named " The Language of GOD - A scientist presents evidence for belief " - by Francis Collin. When I saw the book from TIME bookshop, I was drawn by the name of the author. What has this director of the Human Genome Project got to do under the religion section of this bookshop?

Francis S. Collins, a pioneering medical geneticist who once headed the Human Genome Project, adapts his title from President Clinton's remarks announcing completion of the first phase of the project in 2000: "Today we are learning the language in which God created life."

Collins explains that as a Christian believer, "the experience of sequencing the human genome, and uncovering this most remarkable of all texts, was both a stunning scientific achievement and an occasion of worship."

This marvelous book combines a personal account of Collins's faith and experiences as a genetics researcher with discussions of more general topics of science and spirituality, especially centering around evolution. Following the lead of C.S. Lewis, whose Mere Christianity was influential in Collins's conversion from atheism, the book argues that belief in a transcendent, personal God—and even the possibility of an occasional miracle—can and should coexist with a scientific picture of the world that includes evolution. Addressing in turn fellow scientists and fellow believers, Collins insists that "science is not threatened by God; it is enhanced" and "God is most certainly not threatened by science; He made it all possible."

What is my stand then? Is Darwin's Evolution Theory outdated? How much was Darwin able to understand life given the kind of technology he had in 1879? Why is it still being taught in schools as if it is already a proven fact?

Being a Christian who happens to be a student in the Life Science field, i certainly believe in a God who created the earth, light, water, skies, stars, plants, water animals, birds in the air, and lastly, humans (yes, u and me included). I can't take it when some of my lecturers mentioned that we come from ape? Is there an option for the students here to consider between Creation and Evolution?

I believe science will lead Man to God eventually. As God's language of life - DNA, is being looked at by more and more scientists, under increasingly sophisticated machines, more and more people will tear away pages from their textbooks which attempts to explain life using BIG Bang theory or macro-evolution...

We are all here for a purpose, not from some cosmic accident!
