Show Notes

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Dr. Jonathan Wells about a recent article that claims that the human genome is full of useless, non-functional DNA. Dr. Wells explains the concept of "junk DNA," and why there is such a stark disagreement between those who say our genome is at least 80% functional, and those who say it's only 8.2% — and how we can know who to listen to.
