Intriguing Secrets of our D.N.A.
An  illustrated  talk   by Rob  Campbell,

  Did you know that only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. The other 90% of the molecule is considered to be "junk DNA." 

Can it be that Mother Nature has no use for it ?….we think not !

D.N.A. patterns are transferred across space from one living thing to other living things.* As an example from nature, when a queen ant is separated from her colony, the remaining worker ants will continue building fervently, according to plan. However, if the queen is killed, all work in the colony stops.

No ant will know what to do !
If you need more information please ring Rob on 01600 716 115
