“Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?…The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deed of old; I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be” (Proverbs 8:21-23).
Chiral molecules have two forms that are mirror images of each other. Scientists refer to them as “right-handed” and “left-handed.” You cannot put your left hand on top of your right hand and have congruency between your fingers. In life, the molecule that is most critical is DNA. All DNA on earth twists clockwise like the threads on a right-handed screw. If DNA came in both right and left-handed versions, the strands would not fit together. Life would not exist. As scientists study the creation of life, they see that only one right-handed type of molecule was baked into earth’s chemistry, and this would have happened long before life was created. We observe an amazing creation of God.
