Ahhhh I see it now.... The zoom in makes more sense. The deep blue is helicase, yeap and i see the leading and lagging strands...

it's dna replication. you can see the leading and lagging strands. also, helicase is not involved in translation. the animation for translation from the same ppl is also on youtube.

Creationism is testable, it fails at every hurdle. Ape DNA is related to Human DNA, Creation is falsified as it predicts that no such connection could be possible, It states different origins. Evolution is not falsified, it is the only reasonable explanation for the similarity which precisely matches predictions about the tree of life model. Religion and 'guiding hand' can coexist with science(although many physicists would disagree), but not biblical creation, In a literal sense anyway.

That IS translation. I'm sure the blue ones are Ribozomes and the green ones are tRNA. Oh lol i get it. That in fact this is not DNA Replication as the title states but Polypeptide translation. Well at least one person spotted it. Awesome never seen it visualised like this, you can really see the introns and extrons

It's from the movie GATTACA... Peculiarly enough... Michael Nyman composer

This is absolutly beautiful. The insane complexity of living organisms and how they function is truly amazing. It does not however conform or deny the existence of god. We are made up of atoms and molecules following fundamental rules and interactions. Everything that happens within us is not due to devine intervention, but ultimatly the fundamental forces of nature.

God is the greatest scientist ever. He knows the laws of nature better than anyone and uses them to accomplish his purposes. There is room in religion for science, as it is the foundation of the universe.

Creationism isn't science. That does not mean that it is impossible; it just means that it is untestable. Therefore, scientists really have no ability to assess its validity. Selective pressure is almost as big a driving force in nature as entropy itself, yet molecular biologists still do not completely understand the evolution of complex systems such as these. In the end people can believe what they want to, and the scientific community will continue to forge on into the unknown.
