Here's another little scientific tidbit that should interest followers of Asatru.
DNA has been found to have a bizarre ability to put itself together, even at a distance, when according to known science it shouldn't be able to. Explanation: None, at least not yet.
Scientists are reporting evidence that, contrary to our current beliefs about what is possible, intact double-stranded DNA has the “amazing” ability to recognize similarities in other DNA strands from a distance. Somehow they are able to identify one another, and the tiny bits of genetic material tend to congregate with similar DNA. The recognition of similar sequences in DNA’s chemical subunits, occurs in a way unrecognized by science.
The phenomenon of "like recognizing like" seems to run the whole range of life. Apparently, DNA molecules recognize each other. Bees recognize their hive-kin. Higher life-forms do the same thing - humans included. It seems to be one of those little-recognized organizing factors in Nature. Kinship is special; it repudiates the Marxists, the materialists, the social engineers.
The more we look at genes, the more enigmatic they are. My personal belief is that genes are the physical platform for an intangible, subtle essence that is spiritual. This would be comparable to the way the physical body is associated with subtle soul components in the lore of Asatru.
