Figure it out yourself: The information for one microbe written on paper would take a distance about from here to the moon
Figure it out yourself: The information for one microbe written on paper would take a distance about from here to the moon
Distance to the moon: 380
000 km (38 x 104km)
Number of microbes in the body:
100 trillion (10x1012)
Information for 100 trillion
microbes written on paper:
100 trillion x 380 000 km =
10 x 10 12 x 38 x 10 4
= 38 x 10 17 km
(1 light year equals 10 13 km)
38 x 10 17 : 10 13
=
= 380 000 light years
The information in the DNA of all the microbes of just
one person written on paper would take a paper 380 000 light years long.
World population:about 7
billion people
7
billion x 380 000 light years = 2 700 000 billion light years
Total information in mankind’s intestines written on
paper: 2 700 000 billion light years
Size of the universe: 45 billion light years
Length of the information divided
by the length of the universe:
2 700
000 billion km : 45 billion km = 60 000
Result: If the information in the intestines of mankind
were written on paper you would need a paper about 60 000 times the length of
the universe.
Even if these numbers are not
100% exact, they are still very impressive. Do you really believe that such a
size of information can have happened by chance, or might there be some intelligent
design? Remember, these are just the simplest creatures! Panda Bears and Human Beings have thousands of
trillions times more information stored in their genes…
