Translation: In our arrogance we dismissed as meaningless that which we could not understand.
Only evolutionists, real scientists knew very well that the rest has tremendous importance. In fact the reason why cancer was not understood for decades was due to the emphasis on the genes themselves rather than on how they worked. Cancer is in almost all cases a problem of improper gene expression. The very involved mechanism which tells a cell when to duplicate somehow goes awry and this causes cancer. This information, this control is not to be found in the gene, but the rest of the DNA which the evolutionists deceitfully or ignorantly called junk.
Back in the 1980s, my cousin was proudly displaying his landscape contractor's license and explaining how many courses he had to take and all the stuff about plants he had to learn to earn it; I asked him what a weed was and he said, without blinking an eye, "An undesirable plant."
Or, to put it in Orwellian terms: DNA is more than Duckspeak.
If you'll pardon a bit of schadenfreud, I always love it when scientific smugness is shown up for what it is.....
I much prefer scientists who are humble about what the do and don't know.
Exactly. And we will do it again.
