Genetic Surprises Support Intelligent Design Claims
Several news items reinforce ideas advanced by ID advocates regarding junk DNA, irreducible complexity, and human uniqueness.
Study: Satellite DNA Is Essential and Species-Specific in Drosophila melanogaster
The next step will be for evolutionists to convert this spectacular failure into compelling evidence that evolution can produce DNA that is both (1) species-specific, and (2) functionally essential.
Clever Designs in Nature Worth Imitating
As the biomimetics movement accelerates, scientists keep providing more and more examples of intelligent design in organisms great and small.
As Predicted by Intelligent Design, “Junk” Introns Are Actually Functional
ID proponents have long predicted that functions would be uncovered for such non-coding DNA.
“Junk DNA” Suffers a Blow as Nature Papers Find “Global Function” for Introns in Budding Yeast
All of this calls to mind a comment from biologist John Mattick, a critic of the junk DNA paradigm.
