That's not actually how it works [DNA is split, RNA Primer attached, RNA Pol binds, makes RNA, DNA rewound...], but yes, it is absolutely amazing.
If you want to think of something amazing, think about each cell in your body contains the exact same DNA, but they express completely different sets of protein. Transcription regulation is truly astounding.
