What scientific truth would you seek if

presented the opportunity? Why?

Have you ever looked at a tree and thought about how similar you are to it? Maybe I
stand alone with this thought; however, me and a tree have a lot in common. Sure, that oak has
no face, no arms, no pulse - but we are indeed alike.We share one of the most fascinating and
fundamental things on Earth: deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA, the molecule responsible for the traits
in every single living organism on the planet. Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, the
nucleotides constituting DNA in everything that lives. Relatively simple bundles of molecules
coalescing, and resulting in an inconceivably infinite amount of complexity and diversity. But
how exactly did such an unbelievably functional compound come to exist?
At the beginning, we were merely two haploid cells coming together, forming a whole.
Chromosomes crossing over, randomly deciding our features as genes formed. What will our
faces look like? What color eyes will we have? What gender will we be? Will we have curly
hair? Will we be tall or short, lanky or broad? Will we have some genetic disease? Everything.
Everything decided before our faces can even begin to be distinguished in the womb. Everything
decided before we were even a noticeable amalgam of cells.
From this cycle of creation, life can theoretically continue infinitely, using DNA, or
perhaps some far more advanced molecule (billions of years from now), as a manual for life.
This is truly amazing to me, the infinite nature of life. Not any single being, of course, but all
living things having no foreseeable end ahead of them. I dont really know why, but I find it
reassuring that even after I die, there is a decent chance that my family, and their genes, will
continue to be passed on for generations to come. Even if the lineage stops at one point, it can
keep going at another.

So I guess if I could speak to the creator, if there is one, that would be the question. How
did DNA come to be? Theres not really a specific reason as to why Id pick the creation of DNA
over anything else either, I merely find it extremely interesting. Sure there are far deeper
questions that could be asked, but I guess Im not greedy in that respect. I dont need to know
why the universe exists, or why we have consciousness, or why we exist in four dimensions. Im
happy agreeing that these things are truths, without understanding why.
