I kind of like the idea that DNA is merely an antenna for life force's transmissions. The more you have, and the more complex it grows, the more of themessage you can receive

OK, without special pleading, tell me if you think gorillas are more or less "tuned in" than humans. And guinea pigs. Funnel- web spiders? Lungfish? Salamanders?

All these organisms (and hundreds of others that have been measured) have at least as much DNA in their genome as humans. Some have more than a hundred times as much.

And if it's total quantity, some weigh more than we do too. Especially that funnel-web spider JUST BEHIND YOU....
