The Bible says that God SAID and then there was. If you look at DNA is it made up of letters. Words are also made up of letters. So DNA shows us how the word becomes flesh. How letters take on a physical appearance and become a part of the physical world. [...]
And God said
The words become letters
The letters become DNA
The DNA becomes life.
and it was so.
Oh, they tried using numbers, but it did not work.
They had to assign letter to the different chemical that make up life.

Right! Should we tell him that the letters are abbreviations for particular complex molecules. SIGH.
Didn't God say something to make non-organic matter?
And given that word you think God said to make Adam was 3 billion letters long and would've sounded like gargling and would've taken him about 30 years to say it at three syllables a second. Not to mention that wouldn't have created a fully developed human being, not to mention the tens of millions of species he also would've had to have created!
Please go back to decrying science as evil you fuckwit, you really don't belong here! Not even Mr Dino is this retarded!
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, and for RNA Uracil.
Let's try replacing them with numbers:
A, C, G, T, U.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
GATTACA
3144121
You're right, it makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, how can a movie title be 3144121? It's absurd.
Edit: You're going to have to deal with that spacing not matching what I intended.
I'm finding it harder and harder to believe that JohnR7 is for real. I'm beginning to suspect that he is trying very hard to look like a fundie, and post the most bizarre, bat-shit insane stuff he possibly can, in order to make fundies look like bizarre bat-shit insane people.
(Not that they need the help...)
JohnR7 becomes less lucid with each succeeding post. I would have thought that impossible, but, I guess with god, all things are possible!
<<< If you look at DNA is it made up of letters. >>>
No, it isn't. The letters are just abbreviations for the names of the bases that make up DNA (or RNA) - A denine, C ytosine, G uanine, T hymine, and (in the case of RNA) U racil.
I'd say you can't possibly be this stupid, but the evidence suggests otherwise.
Yes, indeed, you can find God's Word encoded in DNA, and it is interpreted thuswise:
"Go stick your head in a pig."

I too suspect that someone, perhaps even someone at FSTDT must be posting under the name of JohnR7. But if John's a hoax, it's a truly dedicated one; according to John's profile, he's been on CF since 10th February 2002.
What the hell...? DNA isn't made of letters, it's made of 4 kinds of nucleic acids. And we DIDN'T label them with letters, we labeled them with names: "Adenine," "Thymine." "Cytosine," and "Guanine."
G, A, T, and C and just abbreviations.
This has GOT to be the most misinformed post I've ever seen about genetics.
WTF???
I think drugs would help these loonies, Pike . Mood stabilizing drugs, nice young men in clean white coats, and padded rooms...
Napoleon the Clown - uh, those would be nucleotides. They aren't so useful for referring to amino acids because the code isn't universal and besides, you would have to remember what each codon means.
To refer to amino acids, you can use another single letter code (e.g. K = lysine)! Therefore all proteins are made of letters, of course.
Oh my god, what a fucking idiot. That is just too stupid to be believed. DNA is made of letters, but not numbers? Good think they decided to designate the nitrogenous bases with AGTC instead of I II II and IV.

I love this fucking guy. I picture johnr7 with a stocking cap on in the middle of summer, two missing front teeth and carrying around his manifesto in a broken shopping cart.
Hey johnr7, the word of god is made up of letters, I get letters in the mail, my father is a male, it was just father's day. Therefore father's day is the word of god!
"And behold god was thirsty on on the heavenly water fountain was a woman of impure reputation who was also thirsty and in need of nourishment and god said, 'verily i say unto you this day that you are a sinner and a whore' and god flicked her with his mighty finger to the depths of hell where she burns with all of her family's generations both before and after her, and they shall suffer in torment for all the rest of god's days. And god saw that it was good.
Hey, I can make up my own bible verses too!
This guy is either an amazingly dedicated troll or too far gone for meds.
Too bad breathing is controlled by the medula oblangata. This guy seems too fucking stupid to breathe.
Oh, they tried using numbers, but it did not work.
Why wouldn't it work, again?
They had to assign letter to the different chemical that make up life."
You DO understand that the letters are actually the first letters of the names of the bases in the molecule.
Right?
What gets me is not even that they clearly misunderstand abbreviations, but, well, do they actually believe that inside them there are little cut-out letters in Times New Roman floating around? What the smegging hell?
Oh, just give poor JohnR7 a break. He was sittin' on the floor playing with his blocks, and all the pretty letters and colours excited his pathetic self and his lichen-equivalent mind, and LO and BEHOLD... He had an idea!
An idiotic one, but an idea.
I know this required a lot of THOUGHT on his part, so we should be very proud of him - Much as Mummy and Daddy are when Baby goes potty for the first time.
Yeah. When they referred to each component by a number the damn things kept exploding!
Only by referring to them by the first letter of their names did the whole system begin working smoothly.
Truly God is miraculous and wonderful!
</stupid>
"DNA shows us how the word becomes flesh."
OK, what words can we get out of A,C,G, and T? I always sucked at puzzles like this. CAT! Yes, we get CAT out of it! And what do you know, cats have DNA! The word did not become anything divine, but a domestic cat, a good pet and excellent mouser.
Oh, they tried using numbers, but it did not work.
G = 1
A = 2
C = 3
T = 4

No... No, I think that could totally work!
Yo John,
even the folks on your christian forum think your a nut, a retard or just plain annoying.
I couldn't find one person that agreed with you in any way.
some times you feel like a nut, some times your the nut!
DNA is made up of chemicals (amino acids, I think) that have names. Those names have initials. The DNA itself is not letters stuck in our cells.
Btw, wasn't that God of yours SAYING things long before man started writing stuff down? There WERE no letters back then, stupid!
DNA is made of nucleic acids, we use the first letters of their names because writing out the whole name every time would be way too cumbersome.
You could number them, but the letters are easier to remember.
"If you look at DNA is it made up of letters”
Holy fuck, no it isn’t.
“Words are also made up of letters”
Except for the ‘also’ bit, yes.
“So DNA shows us how the word becomes flesh.”
Not even kind of.
“How letters take on a physical appearance and become a part of the physical world. [...]”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Chemicals are n the world.
Humans attach labels to sort them and understand them. The words/letters are in our minds, not the DNA.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
