“the ‘junk’ is far more functional than the protein code”

Care to give an example where DNA’s function is not associated with protein production?

What “function” have short terminal repeats, ERV’s, and pseudogenes been found to have; besides the few that are associated with transciption of DNA into RNA and then translation into protein?

They are learning new functions all the time. And, as we discussed a couple years ago, they are finding codes upon codes upon codes—just like we do in computers, but far more sophisticated.

We have been all over this. Every time you declare there are no functions for ERVs, pseudogenes, etc...I go out and find recently discovered functions for the same, and then you turn around and say “but what functions have they found beyond the functions you just mentioned.” The point is that they found that at least 93% of the genome is transcribed, and that percentage is bound to go up as we learn more. Not only that, they are finding the so-called “junk” DNA is far more active that the translated regions! So you can bet they will be finding a tremendous amount of functions from the so-called “junk” regions of the DNA. And needless to say, now that “junk” DNA is proving functional and far more active than the translated regions, it will not longer be able to be used to trace the so-called “fossil” history of the genome.

I think it’s time to face facts, Allmendream. The neo-Darwinian synthesis is falling like a house of cards, whereas Creation/ID is standing taller than ever.
