DNA is the code that defines our flesh and blood. It is complex to the extreme, and it contains the information that builds and maintains our bodies; our bodies are filled with little factories that assemble proteins; proofreaders that check instructions; little transporters that deliver building material to the factories and other users; there are gates with gatekeepers; mechanisms that police the body looking for invaders; and more than 90,000 other mechanisms that build, regulate, and orchestrate body functions. All those who study DNA are amazed by it. So, from where did this marvelous DNA come and how did it develop into its present state?
Let’s go back in time approximately 6000 years ago, just before the creation. All things were in Christ, including our DNA. At this point, all things (atoms, molecules, stars, animals, and humans) were just an idea, not yet formed or activated. Then, the idea of the creation was released in the form of Word, and on day 6 of the creation, the idea of man was spoken into existence (Genesis 1:26); at the end of day 6, God proclaimed the entire creation to be “very good” (Genesis 1:31), this included our DNA in its “very good” state. Then, after God rested on day seven (Genesis 2:2), Adam was formed (Genesis 2:7) and he received the breath of life from God, and Adam became a living soul, i.e. functioning flesh and blood. Fittingly, the name “Adam” means “mankind,” so, all of us alive today were in Adam. All of our genes were in him in the form of DNA. It was God’s intention that Adam live forever; therefore, his DNA and ours was intended to be eternal.
However, once Adam was given life, humanity’s DNA became vulnerable, it was no longer safe in Christ, but subject to free will and the darkness (Genesis 1:4); God took a risk. Then, unfortunately, sin did enter the world through Adam (Romans 5:12). We, today, suffer from sin: our sins, our family’s sin, our nation’s sin, and Adam’s sin. Part of this suffering is the result of mutations in our DNA; these mutations, which were planted by Satan (Matthew 13:25), cause disease, deformities, death, and other deteriorations of our flesh and blood.
Our present DNA is corrupted and its destiny is death; but, the good news is that the original copy still exists, safely in Christ; and, all we have to do to be restored to our original day 6 DNA is to also be “in Christ” where we are safe and will live forever, even if we die. Here are some supporting scriptures to this notion:
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (KJV)
John 11:25
. . . I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: (Words of Jesus in red KJV)
This is just one reason, the genetic reason, why Jesus is called the Redeemer: He retains every element of the creation in Him, including our DNA, and He has the power and authority to restore all things to their perfect condition at any time.
John 1:3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; . . .
In conclusion, our DNA as it exists now, was “in Christ” before the creation, spoken into existence on day 6. Then, after God’s rest, it was activated in the form of Adam; at this point, human DNA was “very good.” Unfortunately, Adam sinned and his DNA became polluted, destined to death; and, since we all came from Adam, our DNA is also polluted. However, the good copy still exists in Christ where it is safe, and we have access to it when we are also “in Christ.” This is the Gospel from a DNA perspective.

Sir, why do believe that man created only 6,000 years ago. it could have been longer as we were not told in the Bible how long Adam lived in the garden before Eve and Sin came through the Serpent.
Did dinosaurs actually existed? Are they the hand work of deceptions or how did their bones surface and proof so assuring.
I do not also agree with the carbon dating techniques but one thing I do know is that Only God knows the age of the earth and lets address it as so.
Again, I must say being a scientist and a true believer of Jesus myself; you have done an excellent job on this site and the Lord cause His face to shine on you and perfect His knowledge of Him in you in Jesus Name. Amen
We are confident that all things were created approximately 6000 years ago because of the dates given in the Bible. The most important dates are those given in Genesis chapter 1. Each creation day must be one day and here are the reasons:
1. God defined the length of a day even before the sun was placed in the heavens
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
2. God rested for one “day” after the six day creation and commanded us to do the same. If the one day was a million years, we would have to wait six million years for our first rest period, which would be on million years long.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
We believe that dinosaurs actually existed.
Keep up the good work,

While I think your site is doing a great job in the debates, where does tell you how long the day was?
The word job does not necessarily equal 24 hrs.
Gods creation day is not the same as man’s working day, the creation week was just that. ..gods creation week,,meant to reflect man’s working week, you are mistaken if you uphold the creation day being 24 hrs.
Charlie,
Thank you for this question; it is such an important question an I will answer it the best I can. The ten commandments were written in stone by the finger of God. If there is any scriptures to accept, these are the ones. These ten commandments say:
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Therefore, the creation had to be in the same days that we use to determine when to celebrate the Sabbath. If the creation days were eons long we would have to wait eons to celebrate the Sabbath.
I hope this helps. When I was exposed to these scriptures, I became a six day creationists and do not compromise with big bang or evolutionary teaching.

Hi! I am glad I have found your site! It is very helpful and informative! And so far seems to be Bible literalist too! :))
Thanks for putting up and maintaining the site. Oh, and I love the title of this article! “The Gospel According to DNA”
