Abstract
A recent article in Science News began with the following statement: "Immunologists have wrestled with the origin of GOD for several decades."1 The author of the article went on to explain that: "This spiritual-sounding acronym stands for 'generation of diversity' and emerged in the jargon of scientists after their realization in the 1970s that the human immune system manufactures tens of millions of distinct antibodies." The above quotations, the article's title, "The Accidental Immune System," and its subtitle "Long ago, a wandering piece of DNA--perhaps from a microbe--created a key strategy," suggested to me that the process of antibody formation merited further examination from a theistic viewpoint.
