"JUNK DNA":
ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT FOR ATHEISTS
So
Called "Junk DNA" has been offered by atheist evolutionists as evidence
for evolution. Believers can't help but laugh every time new "vestiges"
are offered as evidence, fully aware of all the other vestiges that have
been shown over the years as being far from useless. Now here is a new
announcement that once again humbles unbelievers to believers delight.
Rather than being filled with wonder at the stunning complexity and
design inherent within the human genome, atheist evolutionist, in their
inimitable way, went on to focus instead of "junk DNA," that is DNA that
"appeared" to have no real use and that according to them were simply
"leftovers of evolution."
These unrepentant, God-hating unbelievers have to eat crow one more
time, as the most recent evidence indicates.
Yesterday, after years of studying the human DNA sequence,
ENCODE
- the Encyclopedia Of DNA Elements -
released their
preliminary findings,
showing the complexity of the human DNA chain and that so-called 'junk'
DNA is more important than originally thought.
The papers from ENCODE, published in the journals Nature,
Genome Research and Genome Biology, reveal two major
discoveries: Over 80 percent of the DNA sequence can be linked to
specific biological processes, and there are over 4 million regions of
the sequence that act as switches, where proteins can interact with the
DNA chain to turn genes on and off.
"ENCODE
has revealed that most of the human genome is involved in the complex
molecular choreography required for converting genetic information into
living cells and organisms." said Dr. Eric Green, director of the
National Human Genome Research Institute, according to
Science Daily.[i]
"A complex molecular choreography." And who is the "Choreographer"? Who
is the designer of the stunning "complexity?" No mention; but believers
have no problem knowing who this great being really is. Let's read some
more:
Dr. Ewan
Birney, lead analysis coordinator for the ENCODE project, added "By
carefully piecing together a simply staggering variety of data, we've
shown that the human genome is simply alive with switches, turning our
genes on and off and controlling when and where proteins are produced."[ii]
"Switches"? With the aim of "turning our genes on and off?" Isn't that
interesting...
And last
of all: "Far from being junk DNA, this regulatory DNA clearly makes
important contributions to human health and disease."

Well, looks like atheistic evolutionists have been humbled once again.
How many obdurate types will change their minds and give glory to the
Source of it all? Probably not many--if any.
One thing is worth celebrating: Science is being used by God to humble
the unbelievers and that is great news indeed. And, rest assured, there
is much more coming. Is your lofty ego ready to handle the flattening
that it will yet endure, my militant atheist friends?
