Glory to the Reader or the Writer?

(by David Diestelkamp)

The fruit fly has long been the mainstay of bio-medical research. An article in Newsweek Magazine lauded the scientific breakthrough of reading “almost all of the chemical letters -- 165 million of them -- that make up the fruit fly’s DNA.” It is called “an impressive technical feat in its own right.”

My marvel at this technological accomplishment of man falls far short of my awe for the One who started with nothing and made everything that man is now discovering. The science of man is simply reading what God has written. And even at that, we are still reading at the elementary school level - humans have almost 20 times more DNA than fruit flies!

“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well”
