"Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities"
Aristotle
Peter Gariaev dixit :
"The genetic apparatus is viewed as a library consisting of 46 volumes or books. Each book (a chromosome), contains a text (instructions of how to build an organism) which consists of sentences (DNA) made of words (genes). And each word (a gene) consists of 4 letters (certain “chemical letters”), i.e. the “genetic alphabet” consists of only 4 “letters”."
(Remember,
Our spoken and written language uses a alphabet comprising 26 letters ... but It talks to us using just 4 ! )
Still,
Gariaev says that
" ... our understanding of DNA is very limited. With our present understanding, we cannot cure cancer, we cannot resist AIDS, we have not defeated tuberculosis, nor can we at present prolong significantly the lives of people. Initial promises of bright future, based on creations of trans-genetic research, have actually turned out to be only dangerous trans-genetic foodstuffs, hazardous to the biosphere on which our very lives depend. The cloning of animals has produced only ugly and useless creatures, or animals that grow old and die abnormally rapidly, as in the well-known case of the cloned sheep, Dolly"
"... We proceed from very simple strategic reasoning. For success in our attempts to treat various medical problems and to sharply slow down the processes of human aging, it is clearly necessary to understand the languages by which cells communicate with each other. We have managed to accomplish this, to some extent. It appears that the languages we were looking for, are, in fact, hidden in the 98%, "junk" DNA contained in our own genetic apparatus. The basic principle of these languages is similar to the language of holographic images based on principles of laser radiations of the genetic structures which operate together as a quasi-intelligent system"
