“Tautomerism as a Constraint on the Composition of Alternative Nucleotide Alphabets,” D. “The Headwinds/Tailwinds Asymmetry: An Availability Bias in Assessments of Barriers and Blessings,” S. and they are just now starting to do DNA matching. Proponents argue the image was embedded into the fibers by a process that has not yet been explained, possibly a surge of energy. Jeff and Fuz discuss these important topics in this episode of Stars, Cells, and God. took place a few months ago in Turin, Italy, focusing upon the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium. Januby SkyWatch Editor The linen cloth is considered by many to be the shroud of Jesus Christ following his crucifixion. This insight raises additional questions: How should we account for the ingenuity and fine-tuning of DNA’s structure? Is it the outworking of a historically contingent evolutionary process, or do these features point to a Creator’s handiwork? This fine-tuning comes into focus when biochemists ask “why” questions, such as: Why is DNA made up of the four nucleobases, (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) and not some other set of nucleobases? A chemist from Trinity University Dublin provided insight into this question by demonstrating that the set of nucleobases in DNA uniquely minimizes the harmful impact of a phenomenon called tautomerism, revealing a rationale for the composition of this important biomolecule. The Bible helps prevent this asymmetry and provides a prescription to encourage moral behavior.Įvery detail about the structure of DNA is precisely as it must be for life to be possible, reflecting a type of molecular fine-tuning. Unfortunately, this asymmetry contributes to a darker side of human behavior in that people who perceive greater challenges and obstacles are more inclined to endorse morally questionable behavior.
This “headwinds/tailwinds asymmetry” helps explain why both political parties see the electoral college as favoring the other party, why most people see their favorite team as having the most difficult schedule, and why children routinely characterize parents as favoring other siblings. Research demonstrates that people remember the challenges they face more than the benefits they enjoy. Join Jeff Zweerink and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, as well as new discoveries that point to the reality of God’s existence.
