Show Notes

On today’s episode of ID The Future, CSC’s Casey Luskin delves into the hidden value of so-called junk DNA. Luskin explains that some Darwinian evolutionists were quick to dismiss junk DNA as functionless remnants of evolution, criticizing intelligent design proponents for suggesting that there could be an undiscovered purpose for such genes. Junk DNA has since been found to code for important traits, undermining Darwinist charges that ID impedes rather than advances scientific progress.
