The traditional understanding of DNA has recently been transformed beyond recognition. DNA does not, as we thought, carry a linear, one-dimensional, one-way, sequential code—like the lines of letters and words on this page. And the 97% in humans that does not carry protein-coding genes is not, as many people thought, fossilized ‘junk’ left over from our evolutionary ancestors. DNA information is overlapping-multi-layered and multi-dimensional; it reads both backwards and forwards; and the ‘junk’ is far more functional than the protein code, so there is no fossilized history of evolution. No human engineer has ever even imagined, let alone designed an information storage device anything like it. Moreover, the vast majority of its content is metainformation— information about how to use information. Meta-information cannot arise by chance because it only makes sense in context of the information it relates to. Finally, 95% of its functional information shows no sign of having been naturally selected; on the contrary, it is rapidly degenerating! That means Darwin was wrong—natural selection of natural variation does not explain the variety of life on Earth. The best explanation is what the Bible tells us: we were created—as evidenced by the marvels of DNA—but then we fell and now endure the curse of ‘bondage to decay’ by mutations.

The article I link to below was written by a creationist and published on a creationist website. The abysmal lack of knowledge about molecular biology is exposed in it. I present it for entertainment purposes only…

The original article is old, but the discussion at Uncommon Descent is current.
“There is a theory that earth worms were needed in the pre Cambrian to churn up the rocks so that the rocks would behave differently to tectonic pressures.”
Is everyday a church day around here? Can’t it wait until Sunday?
Who asked you? Perhaps aliens created us, perhaps we are a lost work detail that was stranded here. Why cannot evolution be questioned?
Things are not always what they seem.
It is in a class with: 1. Global warming 2. "THE ONE" 3. Democrats patriotism 4. Hillary 5. Bill 6. Algore 7. abortion Questioning these thing are verboten they are to be believed out right.

I’ve always seen fit not to click on the stuff I’m not interested in, and voila, it doesn’t pop up on my screen. Hard to believe, I know. But, hey, if I’m not interested in it, no one else is or should be, right?
The hilarious last lines of these idiotic papers are always the dead give-aways for their agenda: “The Bible is the best explanation.”
JS is looking for a fight. Leave him be - he's on a roll.
Scientific opposition is welcom. Unscientific opposition, injecting religion into science and beating long-dead horses aren't quite so welcome.
Why can’t evolution be god’s plan too?
If god created everything then couldn’t he have created evolution?
Far be it from me to deny the omnipotency of the omnipotent.
Even when I post material written by creationists and commented on by the ID community, you assume malicious intent. Even though I have added no commentary of my own.
Then let’s marvel at and celebrate god’s creation of evolution instead of doubting it.
“It is in a class with: 1. Global warming...”
I’ve begun to see the similarities. Does this mean that Gore is going to have Darwin’s demigod status for the globalist warming faithful? Instead of asking how the first DNA came about, the skeptics can ask for proof that C02 can store IR energy. This stuff can go on centuries without anyone giving real answers.
