Then why bother posting to this thread?

Because I do promote some of my views. Its just that I don't allow others to tell me what they are and how to defend them. You seem to have a great blindness to your arrogating approach to discourse. You do have a clue to my view on these matters(or at least you should). I don't think the evidence shows that the human genome is 95% junk. I posted some evidence in post 1400.

Now we are getting somewhere. I never said, nor did I intend to imply that 95% of the genome is junk. Read through my posts and I think that should be clear. I apologize if I was not. I did write several posts back that studying these transposable elements and repeats is a semi-hot topic in the field now.

What I am refering to as "junk" are the numerous pseudogenes which pepper the human genome. Many of these guys are not even expressed, let alone have any function. These genetic mistakes, errors etc ( NOT 95% of the genome) are strong evidence for evolution in my opinion.

And also, I shouldnt have to guess from your posts for a "clue" as to what your position is. Is it so difficult to express your point of view in a straight foward manner?
