There is much more contradictory and conflicting evidence found against evolution in the last 150 years - you just refuse to read any of it with an open mind is all. This is especially true regarding ‘junk’ DNA and what is treated as science but still based upon assumptions.

Sorry, but it turns out that whenever you research these alleged "flaws" and "holes" in evolution theory, it's all just religiously motivated nonsense.

Since you mention no specifics beyond alleged "junk DNA", I can report that while original estimates were 98% of human DNA was non-coding "junk", today it's suspected that perhaps 80% of the "junk" does perform serious, though as yet largely unknown, functions.

We should also note that other more "primitive" species have as little as 2% "junk" DNA.

So the bottom line we must always remember begins with that wonderful quote from Isaac Newton, circa 1730:

Today we know more than people of Newton's day, but at the same time the "great ocean of truth" has expanded ever faster than we can begin to understand.

So, as Haldane wrote in 1927:

Seems to me that G*d has provided much grist for our scientists mills.
