90% of the code on a Microsoft Windows install disc has no apparent active function.

Here is a finding that amounts to falsification of Darwinism and confirmation of creationism (limited variation within created kinds), and these authors tiptoed around the bad news with carefully-crafted passive verbs built on the assumption that evolution might explain it somehow, provided you are willing to wait for the vaporware and futureware that is perpetually on back order. “Their functions and origins are often obscure,” we are told. They “emerged” somehow...

ping!
Isn’t 90% of DNA garbage anyway?...............
This must mean the stork brings babies.
The paper specifically states there is no evidence to suggest mutation is in any way responsible for the orphan genes in the Hydra.
...that we know of, yet.
This does not “prove” anything. In bacteria there are plasmids (extra chromosomal DNA) that are used as a means of adaption and survival. In the presence of an environmental extremity genetic material can be moved in and out of the functional genes to allow for a modification in the phenotype and a chance at developing resistance. This is precisely how MRSA developed.
The “unused” DNA in higher order plants and animals are the same. All it takes is a change in the reading frame of a codon to cause the activation of any of these dormant segments. Those mutations can result from environmental or random changes. They do not disprove evolution since there is no change in speciation expected. They only indicate that the genetic material is available to allow variations within a species to support it’s continued survival.

Actually, Creationist and ID scientists have been predicting that the so-called “junk DNA” would someday prove to be functional. And as it turns out, scientists are finding that more and more of this non-coding DNA is critical to cellular function, organismal development, etc...just as Creationists and IDers predicted.
You are free to believe what you wish.

Yeah! What he said!
Seriously though, the presence of these genes doesn’t ‘disprove’ evolution.
Unlike creationists, scientists don’t pretend to have all the answers. Not to be insulting, but the article proves nothing and the quote above explains why.
Aliens from outer space. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
um uuugh.
methinks im devolving.
No, I’m ok now, I just had to exhale all the trapped CO2, You know that poisonous gas we exhale, that plants and all life need, take a breath, and don’t feel guilty.
I’m sharp as a tack now, Don’t step on me!
Seriously we need the debate, we want the debate, there is observational evidence that the universe began. Steveie Hawkins is plying a dead tree. (multiple universes my a$$).
We live in the here and the now, be good!, be brave!, be Yourselves! and remember this: when you try to tune your radio on an AM channel (Most reccommended) and you hear that weired noise, well some of it is the sound of the big bang.
There is no coherent evolutionary explanation for any facet of life. They can’t claim the simple statement that life changes over time, because Creationists have always believed in change over time. Creationists simply assert that there are limits to that change...an assertion that is backed up by the evidence. Whereas, the Temple of Darwin asserts that blind processes fashioned molecules into millions of super sophisticated designs, ultimately leading to man, the crowning achievement of Darwin’s natural selection god. It is far more rational to conclude that intelligence came from intelligence, that sophistication came from sophistication, etc, etc.
Darwinists do pretend to have all the answers. Evolution is still a hypothetical construct. Unlike creationists,
scientists don’t
So now the evos are arguing in favor of environmentally directed mutations? I thought mutations were supposed to be completely random? Could it be that they have been forced into this position because RM + NS is insufficient to explain the complexity of life? BTW, Creationist Scientists have always maintained that the Creator designed his creatures with the ability to adapt to environmental changes.
Haha.
Funny how much your silly statement resembles "God did it".
Thank you...took the words right out of my mouth. Except I would only add, for many (take the Brites for example) Darwinism is a religious construct.

Actually, that silly statement more matches Dr. Crick's, an evolutionist and prestigious award-winning co-discoverer of DNA, Directed Panspermia hypothesis. Citing many reasons that he believed life could not have "evolved" from the alleged primordial stew of ancient Earth (not enough time, earth's temperature, and so forth), he "theorized" that aliens, via spaceships, seeded planet Earth with life.
Maybe the other poster was making reference to Crick.
