KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
I love working with wood.
The most interesting part of that demonstration is the rectangular hole. It is made with a special drill that makes square holes.
Each corner of the business end has four sharp chisels. Using a drill press you gently but firmly send the drill down the hole, raise is up, then repeat until you are all the way through the wood.
This may explain better:

I taught with plenty of teachers who would swear that during a full moon the students behaved differently...ie, they went nuts.
I'm thinking one of two things:
1: The children's parents had also told them it would happen and they were behaving up to expectations. Or...

2: The teachers subconsciously reacted differently to the children's behavior because of their own expectations.

I had a young man express his faith in a higher power with knowledge of DNA.
He asserted that simple chemistry cannot explain how in the presence of the necessary ingredients that they would just form such a complex structure.
I countered that with enough time, it was a certainty, like water turning to a solid when cooled or to a gas when heated. DNA is just what happens when those ingredients are subjected to those conditions...given enough time.
By the way, this is what water molecules look like turning into ice.

I once wrote a novel in which an American lad married an Irish lass and he dressed for the traditional wedding. He mistaken wore the sporran (purse thing) like a fanny pack.

Why would that string do that? Because that is what string does when rubbed like that.

The Frost Fairs of River Thames
Between the 13th and the 19th centuries, the northern hemisphere was in the grip of a “Little Ice Age”. Temperatures dropped worldwide as summers became cold and wet while winters became colder, long and harsh. In the Swiss Alps, encroaching glaciers destroyed farmlands and villages. Canals and rivers in Great Britain and the Netherlands froze up frequently hampering navigation. Greenland was largely cut off by sea ice for three hundred years. With failing crops, many Norse colonies in Greenland starved to death and disappeared. While famine and death became common across Europe, people also started taking advantage of the cold weather. Frozen ponds and rivers became impromptu ice skating rinks, and outdoor winter sports became popular pastime activities.
This painting was made about the same time.
But today seldom does the Delaware River freeze over...or so I'm told.

Grandma rockin' out.
There is no way you younger viewers are going to understand this, but she has the same thoughts in her head now as she did at 20. That doesn't mean you can act on her "urges", but if she has lived her life well, she can remember the freaky shit she used to do, and that's almost as good.
Your "someday" is our "been there, done that."
Reminds me of people commenting to me about how funny and amazing my wife is at just about any social gathering, I always say, "You should have known her when she used to rock and roll."

the question is not really how DNA "came into being"...its the fact that there is the existence of a language "translator" between nucleic acids (RNA...very similar to DNA) and protein. The enzyme tRNA synthetase attaches the appropriate amino acid to the tRNA molecule, when then "decodes" the sequence on RNA and builds proteins from the nucleic acid code. The evolution of tRNA synthetase is analogous to there already being a translator between French and Swahili before one of the languages was even developed.
I always found this fascinating. I am not advocating intelligent design with this comment, just pointing out a biochemical "mystery" that likely, over time, will be solved through evolutionary biology.
