"Takes about 9 months, though.
They're not human beings before they're born? "
OK, then, it takes only a small amount of time. Suit yourself. Still, they create a human being out of almost nothing at all. And have fun doing it, most of the time.
Referring to the size of DNA, maybe, but it minuscule size only serves to make it's gigantic informational content all the more fantastic.
It is astonishing to think that this remarkable piece of machinery, which possesses the ultimate capacity to construct every living thing that ever existed on Earth, from giant redwood to the human brain, can construct all its own components in a matter of minutes and weigh less than 10-16 grams. It is of the order of several thousand million million times smaller than the smallest piece of functional machinery ever constructed by man.
Michael Denton
How in the world does a biotic language, or a convention, or code, or whatever you want to call it, that itself is entirely independent of the chemical makeup of the DNA molecule, originate from chemicals?
"The origin of the genetic code presents formidable unsolved problems. The coded information in he nucleotide sequence is meaningless without the translation machinery, but the specification for his machinery is itself coded in the DNA. Thus without the machinery the information is meaningless, but without the coded information, the machinery cannot be produced. This presents a paradox of the 'chicken and egg' variety, and attempts to solve it have so far been sterile."
John Walton
DNA is not the kind of thing that is "almost nothing".
Cordially,
