> dhw: As always, one can fit the facts to one's beliefs. If ”junk” is not junk, your Darwinian scientist can point out that natural selection gets rid of junk. If junk is junk, he can say it's all random. If junk is not junk, your theist can say it's evidence of God's supreme planning. If junk is junk, he can say, “Wait and see.” Or: ”Told you so, we're already 80% of the way there.” Or: “We have no idea how (or why) God did what he did.”-Originally 'junk' was proposed as a proof of evolution. With research finding function with what is considered 'junk', useful junk is not junk but functional DNA. Natural selection has nothing to do with it. The issue relates to initial theories proposed by Darwinists before DNA was more clearly understood.
