THE COOLSCIENTIST

Long Pigs

In CoolScientist Lesson 21 we discovered that we, and indeed all living organisms, are machines. Our genetic machinery reproduces itself with great precision. As each cell processes its DNA, each chemical reaction for manufacturing each protein is implemented following the sequentially-coded instructions contained in the genes of its DNA program. So each cell sequentially constructs identical copies of itself.

The replication sequence may be observed under the microscope in the case of yeast cells in fermenting tuba (extract of coconut trees.) It is very similar to the way computers copy a file from your hard drive to a floppy disk. But this ingenious replication process is superior, because it is also self-correcting.

In computerese, it’s a form of Turing Machine capable of doing anything any other computer can do given the right input program, albeit, slowly. It’s the perfect form of computer for accomplishing the job at hand: the operation and replication of life.

Many DNA programs contain instructions for the construction of an organism with many variations, while others do not. Cockroaches for example, appear in the fossil record almost exactly the same as their decedents today. Imagine how many times their DNA was replicated without change!

Others, such as humans, have a much larger set of built-in genetic variants that can be brought out through selective breeding. Skin color is one. Shades vary from black to white, with many variations of brown in between. But I’ve never met a blue one. Have you? I know pink ones, especially if they’ve spent the day at the beach. But I’ve never seen a green or violet one. Why not? The genetic code simply does not have a sequence for constructing that color. No program, no trait.

Such variety is often mistaken for evolution, but it is not. The programmed reproductive process in the egg examines every prospective sperm to determine if it is compatible with its own code. And if not, conception simply does not occur. That’s why we don’t have mermaids.

Evolutionary theory came about during a time of immense ignorance. But thanks to an aggressive, well financed medical industry, a tremendous amount has been discovered about the genetic process through gene splicing.

A gene and its trait can be moved from cell to cell. But shooting a hole in its DNA only wipes out a sequence of instructions needed to construct a trait. Mutations do not assemble a gene in the precise sequence needed to make it work. That would be like trying to build a house with a machine gun! It destroys. It does not build, let alone organize anything into a complex, working, genetic pattern.

Notice that we are not talking about religion here! Our improved understanding of how genetic reproduction works is based on reproducible, laboratory evidence, not imagination. Science is a work-in-progress. As each feature becomes better understood, we can see clearer how the pieces and parts of the universe interlock. Recent advancement in physics has shown that all chemical reactions always do it right, and never forget how to do it, because all of the constituents are made of precision-interacting resonant fields! When you burn hydrogen you ALWAYS get warm water. You NEVER get some variation.

Interestingly, scientists have been trying to grow human-compatible organs in animals, because of the great need for organ transplants. To make it work, they have to use our ‘nearest relative.’ A monkey. Right?

Wrong! They are growing them in that animal whose anatomy is nearest to ours, but it’s not a monkey.

In the South Seas, there still exist people today who enjoy human cuisine. Do they say we taste like chicken…or even monkeys? No! The call us, “Long Pigs!” (John N. Hait)
