Show Notes

On this episode of ID The Future, Casey Luskin takes a look at so-called 'junk DNA.' Over the years, many (though not all) Darwinists have stated that non-coding DNA is not worth exploring because it is thought to be mere evolutionary junk. In 2003, Scientific American explained that “the introns within genes and the long stretches of intergenic DNA between genes, Mattick says, ‘were immediately assumed to be evolutionary junk.’” But, as Luskin reports that fact that ‘junk DNA’ is not junk has emerged not because of evolutionary theory but in spite of it. Perhaps it’s time for a new approach to “junk” DNA.
