Amazing CGI visualization of molecular biology's central dogma. It shows animations of DNA coiling, replication, transcription and translation.

What if it's a perfect fractal structure? The atoms of our bodies act like planets and group into systems of molecules much like the cluster of stars group into galaxies, and these in turn have more groupings of clusters and super clusters. To look without is to look within. The whole is contained within every part. Why else is there massive empty spaces between atoms - the same emptiness exists between star systems. We are a reflection of the universe and it is a reflection of us.

damn translation seems kinda slow for all the proteins that come out of it

Great video. Explains better than my whore of a teacher.

excellent video.
Add "&fmt=18" at end of link for better quality.

If this is really God's creation, why should it be confined to the church? Truth is all-encompassing. Our existence is best understood in the context of a worldview that properly explains EVERYTHING. If our DNA is written by God, it has implications for every aspect of our lives - not just religion.

it's just crazy to think about how many times these processes have occurred, all by the action of a few molecules arranged conveniently. it seems like an unfathomable amount of work, yet it goes on day in and day out in every cell of every living thing. this is a mind blowing video i think.

Also, nanomachines.
We can create these things we're seeing on this video, simply by rearranging the atoms to create new molecules to do certain jobs.
With nanotechnology, it's theoretically possible to create genes and the molecular structures that process them, all from scratch.
So yeah, we could make a fly, if we really wanted to.
However, we're to busy making things that are much, much more interesting.

Forget flies.
With the advent of the concept of quantum computing, (also, assuming the effiacy of M-theory) we could augment human brain power to be able to comprehend, move, and work in 11 dimensional space.
If we are able to do this, we'd be able to create our own universes from, what is essentially, nothing.
