DNA as in it’s unique fingerprint, But if you change a little bit the laws of nature, or you change a little bit the constants of nature—like the charge on the electron—then the way the universe develops is so changed, it is very likely that intelligent life would not have been able to develop.
I recommend you read this – not being rude but there seems to be more to it. I didn’t understand everything the author claimed but there is plenty of evidence that there is some fine-tuned DNA-like evolution going on somewhere up there.

I guess the parameters are the fixed constants of nature. But there lies the problem. The Anthropic Principle is an unfalsifiable statement (aka. a tautology) that results from the “selection effect” of our own existence. Meanwhile, the fine-tuning argument is a surprising fact about the laws of nature as we know them.
Monkey girls are go? God designed apes to show His creative power, but belief in man as a highly evolved ape may become a sign of judgment when man honors the creature rather than the Creator (Romans 1:24–25). Although man was created to know and glorify God, the first man and woman rebelled against Him for a satanic lie. Satan, the “father of lies,” deceived Eve by distorting the truth and leading her to doubt God’s Word (John 8:44). Eve was deceived, and Adam willfully ate the forbidden fruit. Their sin brought death and suffering into the world (Romans 5:12–14).

God, the Bible, and Art: Part 2 | Articles | Resources | BJU Press
Kathy Bell continues her discussion about that the Bible has to say about art. In this article, she discusses art’s relationship to a godly testimony. She points out that the subject matter or the style is not not primary. The message or meaning of the artwork that matters.
Nice idea but you got the wrong end of the stick, due to the facts this is based on. Actually The term has its roots in Genesis 1:27, wherein God created man in his own image. . .” This scriptural passage does not mean that God is in human form, but rather, that humans are in the image of God in their moral, spiritual, and intellectual nature.

Stranger than fiction, from the NASA website… “The myco-architecture project out of NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley is prototyping technologies that could “grow” habitats on the Moon, Mars and beyond out of life – specifically, fungi and the unseen underground threads that make up the main part of the fungus, known as mycelia.”
Could Future Homes on the Moon and Mars Be Made of Fungi?
Science fiction often imagines our future on Mars and other planets as run by machines, with metallic cities and flying cars rising above dunes of red sand. But the reality may be even stranger – and “greener”.
Too late if you want to keep the solar system clean of these little killers, they decide which plants they allow to exist on earth, and therefore we are only here but for the grace of fungi.

May we not feel that in the virus, in their merging with the cellular genome and their re-emerging from them, we observe processes which, in the course of evolution, have created the succesful genetic patterns that underlie all living things? — Salvador Luria, 1959 (2)
I disagree with the premise of this idea, Information was being transferred long before telecommunications and before genes. How do you think photons transfer their energy to matter and back into light again?
The idea of folding DNA to create arbitrary two- and three-dimensional shapes at the nanoscale just blows my mind. Not sure who thought of it first but this idea and it’s future applications are going to go a long way. More info about it here.
Applications of DNA origami in science, medicine, and engineering
DNA origami nanotechnology can be used to construct nanorobots, to study molecular interactions, to develop drug delivery methods, and for many other purposes.
In the 15 years since the technique was first reported the field has grown massively. Nature Video finds out how DNA origami works and what has been achieved so far. Watch this video from a while back.

“If DNA data storage ever does go mainstream, you might have Marlon Brando to thank. Or at least, Olgica Milenkovic’s admiration for him.
Dr. Milenkovic, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is one of the pioneers of the effort to store data on DNA. Her first paper, in 2015, used IDT’s gBlocks Gene Fragments to demonstrate random access and information rewriting on a DNA-based storage system. Her second used gBlocks and an Oxford Nanopore Sequencer 7.0 to encode text-oriented files from Wikipedia, then extended that to images.
Brando made DNA storage history with Milenkovic’s third paper. In that study, her team used oPools to encode eight Brando images in a more cost-effective approach to storage.
“I was very biased,” she said of the decision to use Brando. “I always loved his movies.”
