This world is full of marvels and wonders. And it is so amazing to think how this things exist. Well of course, everything is in the eyes of God who is also a nature lover. Thinking of this, what do u think is the most fascinating thing God created?

The DNA code which defines life. It is incredibly simple - just an 'alphabet' of four 'letters', each of which has a complement or 'mirror image' in one of the others - yet it precisely defines how each living thing will grow into the unique being that it becomes. It is the main thing that makes you different from me but it is also what makes us both human. It is what decides that a single cell will grow and divide to become a tiny flower, a mushroom or a banyan tree; a mosquito or an elephant; an ape or a human being.

I don't think it's odd at all. The two Creation stories in Genesis were written down perhaps something like 3000 years ago but many of the stories are much older. Very little was known about chemistry then and even less about microbiology.
Although DNA was first isolated in 1869 and it was first suggested that DNA could be connected with genetic makeup and inheritance in 1927, it is less than 50 years since the structure of DNA and the 'double helix' mechanism by which it reproduces itself has been proved and that the existence of such a mechanism in all living things on this Earth has been known.
If what you are saying is something like: "The story of Creation as told in the Book of Genesis is the Word of God, so why does it not appear to tell the truth?" Then imagine a child of five asking "Why is the sky blue?" Even if you know the reason, you will simplify it when explaining it because you know that a child of that age would not be able to follow all of the scientific principles behind the way that light behaves.

If a god created anything it created the universe. After that the natural laws of physics took over. The best and only thing a god or gods possibly created was this universe.

Can you explain how the 'laws of physics' can account for such a simple and yet complex thing as DNA?

Given the time and incentive I could describe current thinking on the subject but both our time can be better served if I refer you to an in-depth article on the subject. http://www.evolutionofdna.com/ The picture is not complete at this time but we have moved beyond the need for supernatural intervention as the only plausible answer. For a simple quick look here is a simplified version. http://www.evolutionfaq.com/faq/how-could-dna-have-evolved

The most fascinating thing that God created is the whole universe, the outer space, human and earth. Another is knowledge and the talent that he gave to us that is why scientist and those people that are rational can invent things in the future. Therefore, it is better not to blame some of the technology made by men. For example, some religious people are accusing microchips as a sign of Satan, which is a symbol of “666”. For me, that kind of belief is not right.

Yes, I agree on you with this. God's greatness is seen thought the existence of the universe which is very infinite and cannot be fathom by science and also what is inside universe. We should not discriminate religious practice since we all have the freedom to choose what religion we profess and what beliefs we have. As long as this things don't violate the policy of our government and and the moral practice of our fellow individual then its OK.

The best thing GOD created is human, since human have higher wisdom compare to others living things. If human can fully utilized their wisdom, and use in proper way, i think human should be the proud of GOD.
