... God is not invoked to fill particular gaps in the scientific account. God's role is different from that of natural causes. In each case, a current scientific theory provides a conceptual parallel for a theological understanding of God's relation to nature. 1. Design, Chance, and Law Is evolution a directional process? When viewed locally and over short periods there seem to be many ... message of the DNA molecule produces a linear protein chain, but because the chain has characteristic bonding angles and folds, the result is a distinctive three-dimensional protein structure. Message leads...

... in 1998. The first complete working draft was completed in June 2000, and the final sequence is expected to be available by 2003. DNA Structure and Biology Genetic information is the complete set of inherited instructions, or an organism's genome, for building proteins and other molecules. Inside the ... and the diameter of the DNA suggests it is composed of more than one strand. With this information, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the true structure of DNA in 1953 and created a 3-D model showing the double-helix (Figure3). In the model, nitrogen-containing bases (nucleotide...
