Elgielene and I buy frozen blueberries. And we don’t thaw them out. Just thought I’d share that with you. Ha! No, I brought it up for a reason. And not because she says the frozen blueberries are like tiny, round popsicles. I mentioned them because they remind me of a frozen embryo story I wrote about. You know a frozen embryo is a human … Read the rest…

Guy walks up to the bar and orders, “Gimme a Helix, bartender. And make it a double.” I know you’ve heard of the Double Helix. It packs a powerful punch. But there’s no hangover the next morning. Maybe that’s because it’s filled with Deoxyribonucleic Acid. “Yeah! Don’t be stingy with the Deoxyribonucleic Acid in my Double Helix, bartender!” That’s such a tongue-twisting mouthful. Surely, … Read the rest…
Information inside your cells determined whether you’d have brown or blue or green eyes. And it determined whether you’d have black or brown or blonde hair. AND whether you’d be a boy or a girl (Those are the only choices, by the way). Take a trillion trails of that information, see where it goes, and I believe you’ll come to the same conclusion I … Read the rest…
Yeah, it only takes 23 chromosomes to create the person you know as “myself.” Well, to be more accurate, it takes 23 from your mother and 23 from your father. But who’s counting. I mean besides DNA specialists, biologists, and other people who dive into such microscopic things. But you know who’s not counting? God. Why would God count to see if there are … Read the rest…
DNA extraction. Sounds like something straight outta Jurassic Park, right? But it’s not science fiction anymore. And it’s another one of the millions of examples of how we’re not just carbon based lifeforms. DNA extraction has been done in impossible places. But before I share a few of those, I’d like to share some steps to the extraction process. Because it’s important to know … Read the rest…
Since I’m more known for composing (music), it might seem a little weird for me to talk about decomposing. But here I am talking about it. And I’m guessing that you might already be aware of how your DNA starts decomposing the moment you die. Am I right? Well, it does. And apparently before 1990 almost no one believed DNA could be more than … Read the rest…
You and I are fearfully and wonderfully made. Here’s scientific proof. You’ve heard of a double helix…right? It’s the best image scientists have come up with, so far, to represent Deoxyribonucleic Acid…also known as DNA. And DNA is scientific proof you and I are fearfully and wonderfully made. Not merely carbon copies of carbon lifeforms. Even the term “carbon lifeforms” contradicts itself. But anyway…let me share … Read the rest…
