Today is recognized as National DNA Day in the US because on this day in 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick (both atheists) discovered the helical structure of DNA, opening up countless new avenues of research into the complex instruction manual in each of your cells (really DNA is a language system—it’s incredibly complex!). And what’s really exciting is that creation scientists are leading the way in new DNA research!
Watson and Crick thought their discovery would prove life wasn’t created—but research has shown the opposite, as DNA is a complex language and information system.
Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, one of our research scientists, has published groundbreaking research on the human genome.
Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, one of our research scientists, has published groundbreaking research on the human genome—research that’s only possible because he starts with the biblical timescale of only thousands of years. It’s absolutely fascinating what he’s been able to unravel about human history from the “stamps” in the male-inherited DNA. (You can learn about that research in this article or more fully in this fascinating book).
In honor of National DNA Day, Dr. Jeanson released a short video featuring just a small fraction of his research. You can watch that here:
And Dr. Jeanson has a brand-new book, now available for preorder, highlighting even more fascinating research. They Had Names: Tracing the History of the North American Indigenous People is a deep dive into the genetics, indigenous histories, linguistics, and archaeology of North America. You will be blown away by what Dr. Jeanson is learning about a time in North American history that is often shrouded in mystery—and, again, his research is only possible because he starts with the young-earth timeline given in God’s Word.
I encourage you to preorder They Had Names. You will be fascinated by this exciting research.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
