It's going to be someone other than a journalist. After all, there had been (up to a few months ago) a thriving school of neo-Darwinian thought that held that "junk DNA" segments were leftovers from antiquated or functionally discarded and/or "broken" genes, and were being moved thorugh evolutionary methods into non-existence.
More recently we've been hearing that we have retro-viruses "inserted" into our genomes that do incredible things such as controlling the size of the brain, making the placenta functional, etc., etc.
Pretty profound stuff to me if not to you ~ and not at all a surprise if life as we know it here on this little planet in a vast cosmos was "designed" in some "life factory" somewhere, some time in the distant past ~ maybe even in a different universe.
As long as we're demanding citations....
