"The fact that DNA transcription is immense—and nonrandom—was confirmed in a 2013 paper that studied RNA transcripts in yeast...

> "..a cell's type and functional role in an organism are critically influenced by complex and carefully orchestrated patterns of expression of RNAs inside that cell...."Assertions that the observed transcription represents random noise . . . is more opinion than fact and difficult to reconcile with the exquisite precision of differential cell- and tissue—specific transcription in human cells."

It can't start without special stretches of DNA, called promoter sequences, which bind to special enzymes called transcription factors (TFs). And just any enzyme won't do—TFs must be able to recognize the specific DNA promoter sequence that they're keyed to unlock for transcription...---Heresy!! Burn 'em at the stake!! RANDOM CHANCE!!
