(Do humans use all their DNA? Supposedly over 95% is *junk*. What if it weren't?)
No KNOWN function. But the genes dictating racial differences HAVE been identified.
And then there's another problem. Rampant inbreeding leads to LESS GENETIC DIVERSITY. A species simply cannot survive that much inbreeding. That is a scientific fact. Are you asking me to ignore that just because the bible says so?
It isn't possible to generate a sustainable population from two people.
Yes, so if they started with oodles of it and groups of people became isolated from each other, inbreeding would occur and with the less genetic diversity, people groups with different characteristics would appear depending on what got selected out. That's why no two humans of today could repopulate the earth and produce the diversity we now see, because they aren't starting with it; they'd be missing some genetic material.
And really, the basic pattern of humans is the same. There's differences in coloring, and blood components, size, both height and weight, hair type and amount, and probably others that I'm not familiar with.
If over 95% of the DNA humans contain is labeled *junk*, could not that +95% be capable of containing all the information necessary to account for the minor variations we see in humans, considering we're only utilizing <5% now to make and control and identify each individual on the planet? If so little of the DNA is required to produce a living being, each being capable of being distinguished from another, then you're saying that the other 95% isn't enough to account for simple variations in the model?
Then how could evolution occur if a mutation occured in a particular individual in a species and it bred so that the characteristic got passed on? Wouldn't that require a tremendous amount of inbreeding for that species to produce enough to become a different species altogether, one that was not capable of breeding with the others nearby that it branched off from? In effect, you'd have the same scenario in evolution, that you say can't work in creation; that is, a whole sustainable population from a very small number of *parent* individuals.
Also, if inbreeding produces less genetic diversity, why do evolutionists say that evolution results in INCREASED genetic information?
Question: will the following 'work'?
NIV Genesis 30:28-43
28. He added, "Name your wages, and I will pay them."
29. Jacob said to him, "You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care.
30. The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?"
31. "What shall I give you?" he asked. "Don't give me anything," Jacob replied. "But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them:
32. Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages.
33. And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored, will be considered stolen."
34. "Agreed," said Laban. "Let it be as you have said."
35. That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons.
36. Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban's flocks.
37. Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
38. Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
39. they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
40. Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban's animals.
41. Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches,
42. but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob.
43. In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
