Junk DNA: goodbye! (Introduction)

> dhw: You have drawn our attention to this before, and I pointed out that if we still can't answer the question "what, in fact, do they do?" we can hardly say they are not junk. However, we also discussed the fact that even if it turns out DNA is 100% functional, it still won't prove anything either way about design. -You miss the main point. "Junk" supports a chance mechanism discarding stuff, a la Darwinian style unguided evoluton. A 100% functional DNA demands design. You can't just slough it off. It doesn't prove design, but what else is there?
