Shortly Ill be debating Rutgers University biology professor Dr. Dan Stern Cardinale about junk DNA. Thats at 5:30 pm Pacific time.You can see it here. The question before us will be: Is the Human Genome Largely Junk DNA? The following are some key quotes on the subject that will be relevant to our conversation. They are divided into three categories: <\/p>\n
Many of these quotes are from mainstream scientific papers, books, or book chapters of a technical nature, while quite a few are from mainstream scientific or journalistic sources of a more popular style. The latter sources, while not peer-reviewed technical papers, are nonetheless quite valuable. <\/p>\n
Quotes from evolutionists claiming (or repeating the widespread belief) that non-coding DNA is junk and has no function. <\/p>\n
Note: Many of these quotes are from decades ago, showing how the idea of junk DNA was born and bred in the evolutionary paradigm. But some are more recent. <\/p>\n
Early quotes from intelligent design theorists predicting function for non-coding junk DNA. <\/p>\n
Note: There are many such quotes, but the most relevant ones are from the late 1990s and early 2000s before it was widely thought that junk DNA was functional. <\/p>\n
Quotes from mainstream scientific sources saying that weve experienced a shift in our thinking that junk DNA actually has function. <\/p>\n
Note: Some of these quotes also acknowledge that evolutionary thinking stopped science from discovering function for junk DNA. <\/p>\n
