Watson and Crick discover the molecular nature of DNA in 50's

They state after years of work there are 72k per strand....others who came later say it's less then that and then create a work salad of reasons to change some markers but the total is still 72k when you add all their markers together.

72 x 2 =144,000

P.S. to another poster...Since John revealed the hand or forehead thing two milenia ago...I think the entity we know as the devil decided to get crafty. And switch it up.
