Dr. Betgman was saying that non-functional DNA cannot be 'selected' and should exhibit more randomness than is seen.

And yet, most of our DNA is nonfunctional "junk DNA". How does he account for that?

This sounds familiar... when did I read about this question before ?

Ahhh yes, Evolutionists in the 19th century said that we had hundreds of vestigial organs, which supposedly didn't have any useful functions ("junk vestiges" ). Today, we're now down to almost ZERO. Even the appendix has been found to have a role in fighting infection.

So, this sounds like the same question all over again. "If we don't understand it, it must be useless."

This is the standard evolutionist response to anything we don't YET understnad.
