Who Misrepresented Who? A Response to John Farrell
When we find re-usage of parts in a way that cannot be explained by a phylogenetic tree and common descent, this is the sort of data we might expect under intelligent design.
Inconvenient Fungus Genetic Data Leads to Epicycles in the Tree of Life
Proponents of neo-Darwinian evolution have their modern day epicycles to attempt to explain why data often runs counter to the tree of life hypothesis.
Science Article Acknowledges Convergent Similarity Is “Contrary to Expectations” of Neo-Darwinism
The problem now is that in a Darwinian world, evolution is supposed to be blind to future needs. This kind of data almost sounds like evolution is being directed to evolve the same complex trait over and over again. That doesn’t fit with unguided Darwinian processes
“Junk DNA” and the Molecular Basis of Cell Identity
Once thought to be “junk,” or functionless vestiges of once-protein-coding-genes which have, through the course of evolutionary history, mutated to a state of non-functionality, the research documents that these lincRNAs have an extremely important — even crucial — role with respect to the determination of cellular identity.
