I can't agree with you more.
I couldn't believe that when I first learnt that we are differentiated from a single little oosperm.
It is amazing!
Then I started to learn something about life science, and had the chance to observe the defferentiation of the chicken.
I was shocked when the chicken pecking out from the egg.
I could see nothing alive when I hadn't have the egg incubated in a incubator. And day by day, I could see a life come from it.
Finally, a chicken was born.
I leart that all the amazing things of an oosperm comes to a creature is controlled by the DNA.
So I adore the tiny little chemical very much.

Not to mention the fact that such data could never be complete. In order to predict the future with 100% accuracy, you would need to know everything about every single object in the universe and plug it into the formula, because any one of those objects can affect the future outcome of anything else. Okay, so nobody would need perfect accuracy, but even if you confined the formula to only things on Earth, it would require an amount of data that can never be achieved. Even if you somehow could seize the data of all of the objects in the universe that exist in one moment, the next moment would come around and invalidate your data. A future event will never be 100% predictable.

That's why all the formulae are restricted to some conditions.
"This formula is used in this condition; that formula is usefull in that condition."
We can meet the sentences all the time.
The formula you putting forward is a perfect one, and can't be achieved.
Because the perfect thing can only exist in our imagination.

Just imagine other alien DNA from galaxies far away. I know it wouldn't be DNA per se, it would be more of an analogous chemical but just imagine! It's facinating.

You're a good guy Luojuan. I can tell you have a keen eye for the 'truth'
