You are misinformed, which is all too typical from Creationist sources. They know that the average education level of their target audience is below average - and they tailor the message thusly. Endogenous retroviral sequences are junk DNA. Pseudogenes are junk DNA. Short repeat sequences are junk DNA. No. DNA information consists of recursive computer-like functions that build structural proteins and nucleic acids. The so-called non-coding or "junk" DNA components actually interact with proteins as they are constructed.

So why then are all mutations that cause defects and/or disease found either in genetic DNA (roughly 3% of the genome and highly conserved between species) or the regulatory DNA (roughly 3% of the genome and highly conserved between species) that controls the expression of the genetic DNA?
Why is the most commonly recognized sequence in the human genome a degraded copy of reverse transcriptase?
