I've been reading some articles by Werner Gitt (http://creation.com/dr-werner-gitt) on the topic of Creation/Evolution and followed up on a little research of my own with regard to the human DNA molecule:
The DNA contained within a single human body cell, if stretched out end-to-end, measures about 6 feet. There are between 50 and 100 trillion cells in a human body (depending on age and size). Given 5280 feet/mile, that means that there are between 56.82 and 113 billion miles of DNA in a human being. Given the distance from the earth to the sun to be 93 million miles, that total DNA contained within one human body could make between 300 and 600 trips to the sun and back! Yet, that same DNA mass could be compressed and fill the space of a single ice cube.
(Wikipedia and the book, "Fearfully and Wonderfully made")
Oh, Dr. Gitt's principle point is that a non-material entity (in particular, "information"...our DNA) cannot be generated by a material entity.
