Intelligent Design - An Incredible Fingerprint of God

A short history of DNA and how it is used by the cell to transmit information for replication and the transcription and translation which must take place for the production of cellular materials.  We also cover the "simple cell" and some of the processes which the cell undergoes to control transmission of material through the membrane, builds proteins and receives specific hormones.  Darwin admitted that if a cell could not function in a simpler version, then his theory of evolution would not hold true.  It is pointed out how all of these systems see to be at the point of "irreducible complexity" which means that evolution is not the answer to the complexity of organisms on the face of the earth and that God's story of creation is a very plausible explanation.
