But if you want to talk about the "genome," I'm all ears.

The Mathematics of DNA

Diamond ... Your catch regarding DNA and Pi is fascinating.

Another similar catch is on pages 213 and 214 of Steve Jones' "Darwin's Ghost," where Jones writes:

Streams evolve through a balance of forces. The bed shifts as it erodes one bank and dumps its remains on the other. It returns when its loops are cut off as the water finds a more direct route downhill. Complexity – meandering – is opposed by simplicity, the shortest path to the sea. Raindrop, Meander and Mississippi follow the same rules. Measurements of dozens of real rivers, and computer simulations of many more, reveal that the relationship between their shortest possible path across a plain and their actual length is always the same. It is pi, the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. Each river, whatever its size, goes a little more than three times farther than it needs on its way to the sea.

... The instructions in DNA are not only linguistic, they’re beautifully mathematical. There is an Evolutionary Matrix that governs the structure of DNA.... Dr. Jean-Claude Perez started counting letters in DNA. He discovered that these ratios are highly mathematical and based on “Phi”, the Golden Ratio 1.618. This is a very special number, sort of like Pi....

Absolutely astonishing article, Diamond! Thank you ever so much for the link!

It looks to me like the mathematics and evolution of DNA can be neither random nor accidental.... This must be unsettling for orthodox Darwinists.

The Mathematics of DNA

What effect would duplications such as genome duplications or chromosome duplications have on the cited ratios?

Thanks, Diamond and Betty. I’m showing this link to my husband. He loves to study the perfect geometry of God’s creation.
