Immunity; how junk DNA speeds the process (Introduction)

DAVID: Note more 'junk' DNA disappears, which the authors call 'overlooked'. "Junk" DNA is a cornerstone of atheistic thinking about evolution. To them the junk is the result of chance attempts at advances, that then did not work out and were discarded. The disappearance of junk is a major blow to their theories of random mutation and chance evolution.

Then they must be pretty dim. If junk turns out to be useful, all they have to say is that natural selection ensures that whatever is useful remains and whatever is useless is discarded. It need not make the slightest difference to their faith in chance evolution.
