> It is based on a review in New Scientist with the more theological title "A caring god would not have designed us like this"-This is the usual balderdash. No one has any proof that God is as the religions describe. We do not know how much God cares or is loving. By imagining this sort of God, one can laugh at DNA, but as I read the article, the description of DNA seemed dated. How much 'junk' is really junk and how much produces rapid epigenetic changes? Recent research supports the notion that little is junk and epigenetics is very important from the duplications and methylation and other mechanisms. DNA/RNA is in reality very complex and extremely accurate in coping, not the dizzying level of mistakes the article infers.
