Genome complexity: pseudogenes (Introduction)

David: Pseudogenes are not pseudo, but very useful elements in the genome. Less junk, more function:-http://designed-dna.org/blog/files/c618328523fff8d1b860267f05417554-80.php-QUOTE: "Pseudogenes are clearly not pseudo, but rather complex sections of genetic code programmed by an omnipotent and all-wise Creator. The only thing that is pseudo, is the failed paradigm of evolution."-If junk DNA is not junk, how does that prove evolution is a failed paradigm? The evolutionist can simply argue that natural selection has got rid of all the DNA that WAS junk. And who says that the Theory of Evolution runs contrary to a complex genetic code programmed by a Creator? Maybe a Creator created a complex genetic code that would enable single-celled creatures to evolve into us wonderful humans. And if junk and pseudogenes do exist, what does that tell us? Maybe godless evolution left odd bits and pieces lying around, or divine evolution left odd bits and pieces lying around. It might seem strange for an omnipotent and all-wise Creator of each individual "kind" to leave odd bits and pieces lying around, but who says he's omnipotent and all-wise? Both sides of the argument seem like a load of junk to me.
