[quote]A new study is reigniting the old debate about junk DNA and evolution.
For years, evolutionary scientists claimed most human DNA was a useless byproduct of the evolutionary process. And they used that theory to support their contention that there was no design or purpose to the universe.
Then in 2012, after a decadelong project, the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, or ENCODE, published 30 papers that Science Magazine reported sounded the death knell for the theory of junk DNA. The ENCODE researchers found at least 80 percent of human DNA serves a purpose.
Their conclusion didn’t sit well with evolutionary scientists, particularly Dan Graur, who on his Twitter feed calls himself a crusader on a white horse about to slay the dragon, ENCODE.
Now Graur has published a new study in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution that attempts to refute the ENCODE findings and proclaims at least 75 to 90 percent of human DNA is useless trash.
The ENCODE researchers, sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute, were not affiliated with creationism or intelligent design. They were unique, according to Jonathan Wells, author of Zombie Science, because they did not go into their research trying to make their data fit the assumption that Darwinian evolution was true.
“They’re just doing their work and reporting their evidence,” Wells said on a video.
Graur referred to the conclusions reached by the research team as the “evolution-free gospel of Encode.”
“ENCODE’s take-home message that everything has a function implies purpose, and purpose is the only thing that evolution cannot provide,” he wrote in a paper published in Genome Biology and Evolution.[/quote]

29 AntwortenBearbeitet von The Cellar Door: 8/12/2017 6:26:12 AMThe bias is pretty clear in your article, and whoever wrote it is clearly unqualified. Just an FYI, we were not unaware of the fact that what we called "junk DNA" could be transposal genes. Perhaps you've been reading to much click bait that reaffirms your own convictions and not enough science. The reason [i]why[/i] it was called junk DNA, is because it's duplicated DNA. It isn't unique. It doesn't provide anything (directly) very interesting from a genetic standpoint. The study that your source (which you didn't provide) is referring to, never disputed this fact, nor did it attempt to. What the ENCODE data showed is that a good chunk of this duplicated DNA is chemically active by way of transpositions. This is not a surprise, nor does it even remotely provide an argument against Darwinian evolution. In particular, these conclusions help explain why our immune system is so good at what it does. The funniest part is, the fact that this duplicated DNA is chemically active actually helps explain the complexity of human genetic architecture. It's literally evidence for evolutionary theory. LOL. [url=http://m.genome.cshlp.org/content/14/11/2209.short]Source[/url] An argument to complexity is simply a show of being misinformed. We've mapped our entire genome, and have deduced countless times that there is nothing out of the ordinary or far too complex to have evolved in the time that it has. We've also concluded reasonable times for phylogenetic separation when comparing human gene sequences with that of other hominids.

What's that have to do with proving or disproving evolution or creation? If evolution is true, it proves that it's a much more efficient process than we once though; if creation is true, it proves that the creation was well-designed.

12 AntwortenI don't see how any of that refutes the theory of evolution. If anything, it supports it because it further reinforces that successful DNA gets passed on by future generations of the creature in question, which is one of the precepts of the theory. It might debunk that junk DNA theory, if it is part of the theory of evolution, but not as a whole.

Mind you, science is religion as well; but its hilarious how the traditional religionists misrepresent science. Makes sense I guess, as they are both dogmatic systems of thought.

3 Antworten[quote]“ENCODE’s take-home message that everything has a function implies purpose, and purpose is the only thing that evolution cannot provide,” [/quote] Not really. It might simply be that over time we jettison the DNA that we don't have a use for, leaving us with mostly DNA that we use. Sounds like evolution working just as it should imo.

2 AntwortenWhat?? I'm not sure how this refutes evolution. Further, I don't see how intelligent design or creation conflicts with evolution. Any reasonable stance would concede that evolution, or at least Darwinian natural selection, is a part of intelligent design just as all natural processes are a part of intelligent design.
