The Disclosure newsletter for March 2016 AD, Vol 20, Issue 6 notes, “Until recently, scientists were unable to figure out what the rest of the DNA molecule did…Arrogantly, they thought that if they didn’t understand what it did, it must not do anything. It must be random ‘junk’ left behind by evolution.”
With reference to The ENCODE Project Consortium paper, “An integrated encyclopedia of DNA elements in the human genome,” Nature, September 6, 2012 AD, pp. 57-74 it is noted, “The authors of the paper seem clueless as to the obvious damage this report does to the theory of evolution. They believe completely in evolution…”
To the Nature article a certain Steven Pelech wrote the following comment (#49966):
There appears to be strong evolutionary pressure in multicellular organisms to retain excess baggage so as to simply make sure that the important parts are retained. There are countless cases of this ranging from the extensive remodelling of embryos during early development, to the hundreds of thousands of superfluous phosphorylation sites in the proteins encoded by the human genome. At the levels of gross anatomy down to the molecular, there are so many examples of inefficiencies in biology.
This is typical evolution story telling at its best, or worst or most usual actually. What, actual science is causing our favored worldview philosophy (evolution) trouble well we can’t have that can we?!
Let us now reverse everything that has been authoritatively asserted regarding this particular issue and claim, based on imagination, that “multicellular organisms…retain excess baggage” aka “junk” because even though it is junk excess baggage is it not junk excess baggage since, or so it is merely authoritatively asserted without evidence, it plays a part in ensuring that “important parts are retained.”
This is simply incoherent and is illogical and ill-bio-logical.
This is why, as I have noted since evolution is a theory about everything it is a theory about nothing. You see, now you are supposed to believe that evolution causes organisms to discard junk excess baggage except when it causes organisms to retain excess baggage.
