Current science; fallacious thinking (Introduction)

DAVID: Dan Graur's comment highlights his discomfort at the new discoveries, as they destroy his Darwin theories.

dhw: Then he should comfort himself that even if 100% of DNA proves to be functional, it merely proves the efficiency of Darwinian natural selection in discarding unwanted material. But if he feels uncomfortable because of all the complexities of these various processes, I for one would share his scepticism concerning the efficiency of Darwinian random mutations as their originator.

DAVID: You obviuosly don't know Graur. His entire faith in Darwin is based on the existence of much of DNA as junk. You are thinking about him through your biases. He is not skeptical about random mutation, but insists they created junk which had to be left behind.

dhw: Of course I don’t know him, but if his entire faith in Darwin is based on junk DNA and he is not sceptical about random mutations, then I’m sorry, but why bother? There are thousands of people whose views you could bombard me with, and I can only offer you my personal response.

He is a confirmed atheist and a close friend of Larry Moran. I'm just showing you their viewpoint.
