My post is the ICR news article. The link above is for the original paper.
Then those guys that ‘discovered junk DNA’ should give back their Nobel Prizes......................
Takes junk science to conceive of “junk DNA”. Hacks galore, and they try to turn genuine science into alchemy . . .
But...the science was settled.
Only for Democrat Voter Registration Drives
You bet. For the last 10 years scientists have been discovering incredibly complex functionality for what was previously considered "junk" DNA. The concept was never more than pure arrogance.
There’s also that “meta information” concept that I don’t fully fathom yet.
Something about dormant DNA until certain environmental conditions activate it.
I can’t believe how much bs has been churned out over this bogus “junk DNA” canard.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
At least the old alchemists were pragmatists. If something didn’t work, they tried something else...................
The thoroughly discredited idea of evolution keeps revealing itself to be more and more ridiculous. Yet, scientists and the media try mightily to cling to it!
There is no evidence for the “theory” and never has been. It’s just an idea Darwin came up with. But he was mentally ill and a very troubled person.
Are you so uninformed that you think life scientists continue to hold the “junk DNA” hypothesis as viable?
The concept of “Junk DNA” is a typical response of a certain class of arrogant “scientists”, namely, if we don’t understand something, then either 1.) It simply doesn’t exist (e.g., the response to meteorites - stones can’t fall from the sky); 2.) It’s not important or it means nothing (e.g., Junk DNA).
Fortunately, the world still produces genuinely skeptical and curious people, and to the skeptical and curious do we owe the continuous discoveries of the material truths and discoveries of our world that have benefited so much of mankind.
No, but I think they are still holding their million dollar Nobel Prize!...............8^)
The term “junk DNA” is the invention of Big Media. I guarantee you no one ever won a Nobel Prize for their work in “junk dna”.
It is good to see scientists adjust thier theories to acomodate the findings of new research.
Only a few “scientific facts” are immutable and indiputable:
1 - Global Warming is taking place
2 - It is manmade
3 - It is killing the planet - maybe even the entire galaxy
4 - The only way to stop it is to make working Americans pay higher taxes
