Is An Ancient Message Stored In Our DNA?

Cynthia McKanzie – MessageToEagle.com – Our DNA is amazing, and our unique genetic code raises many questions about our existence and role in the Universe. DNA has a unique ‘double helix’ shape, like a twisted ladder and we find this unique genetic code in all living organisms.

Recent scientific achievements have provided us with more information about this incredible genetic code, but there is no doubt that our DNA still remains a scientific mystery.

Why Would Someone Place A Message In Our DNA?

Now suppose “someone” wanted to store a permanent message that should only be accessible to humans once they have reached an adequate level of consciousness combined with proper scientific knowledge. Where should this ancient message be stored without the risk of being destroyed?

A thought-provoking theory put forward by some scientists suggests our DNA may contain a unique ancient message.

In our previous article on MessageToEagle.com we discussed the complexity and mystery of our DNA. If our DNA is so complex, the who was the programmer of this unique genetic code?

Professor Paul Davies, from the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at Macquarie University in Sydney has previously suggested that an alien message can be hidden in your DNA.

There can be a alien message written in a binary code, hidden on our DNA

Some scientists have suggested there can be an alien message written in a binary code, hidden on our DNA.

“Our own genomes have got huge amounts of this junk that has climbed onboard from viruses over evolutionary history, so if viruses can to it ET can do it and it seems to me that we could in addition to scouring the skies for radio waves with a message encoded we could scour terrestrial genomes, which are being sequenced anyway, to see if there is a message from ET encoded in it. You know, it could be some striking string of nucleotide bases, the famous four-letter alphabet that is the language of life, the A’s, G’s, C’s and T’s in the DNA.

It might just spell out some sort of message that would attract our attention.

Now of course this is a crazy idea.

I’m not actually suggesting that there really is a message from ET in genomes. What I’m saying is that is the type of thinking we need. Maybe it is no more crazy than expecting it to be etched into radio waves coming from the sky,” Paul Davies said.

What Are The Implications OF Finding An Ancient Message In Our DNA?

Is it far-fetched to think we may all carry an alien cosmic greeting card in our DNA?

In his book The Language of Life, George Beadle wrote that “the deciphering of the DNA code has revealed a language… as old as life itself, a language that is the most living language of all.”

Some years ago, there were rumors Harvard University scientists had found a message from God located within human DNA. It was reported that the message read “Hello my children. This is Yahweh, the one true Lord. You have found creation’s secret. Now share it peacefully with the world.”

This would be fantastic news if true, but the whole story was created by an online satirical newspaper and it was only intended as entertainment. Unfortunately, most people (and some newspapers) missed this and news of this “discovery” spread.

What researchers at Harvard University did discover was the answer to a long-standing mystery of the genetic code.

Scientists have long speculated whether synonymous codons truly produced the same amino acids, or whether they represented a second, hidden genetic code. Harvard researchers managed to decipher that second code, and the answer may hold hope for developing new techniques to combat resistant bacteria.

Of course, just because a satirical magazine spreads faked news doesn’t mean we must exclude the possibility there may be an ancient hidden message in our DNA. Scientists simply haven’t found it yet.

Many wonder what would happen if scientists one day discovered a secret message in our genetic code. What are the real implications of knowing the human genome sequence? How will the public react? Could a message in our DNA be proof of God?

Katrin Weigmann says “the company deCODE Genetics uses the slogan “decoding the language of life” on its corporate website. Through these metaphors, the lay-person perceives humankind as demystified, its secrets revealed.  From understanding the genome as a coded message, interpreting it as a text, book or language is not so far-fetched. These metaphors convey an important scientific principle: a sequence of a limited assortment of building blocks, like letters in a text, can carry a message.”

Scientists call the human genome the human book of life, and they may be correct. But as Weigmann says, “calling it a “narrative” or a “textbook” implies that it is written with intention and is meant to be read by humans. This confusion in intention and target audience misinterprets the role of scientists.

Rather than describing them as outside observers trying to untangle the complexity of life, they are displayed as being part of the process, as the ones who are meant to read and interpret the message written down in the genome. But who is the author?”
