Bad Designs?"Junk" DNA Not so Junky
1/1/2000 A recent report by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) provides new evidence that non-coding DNA (typically referred to as “junk” DNA or “selfish” DNA) is not useless. Instead it appears to serve an essential function in complex cells. 30% Inefficiency by Design
4/1/2001 Cells use a highly wasteful process when producing proteins. Roughly 30 percent of all newly synthesized proteins must be degraded (broken down) by the cell immediately after formation because they are improperly made. A Couple of Tasty Morsels
5/22/2008 A sampling of new research uncovers more function for junk DNA, undermines one of the best arguments for biological evolution An Inordinate Fondness
10/1/2006 When asked what the study of nature told him about God, the legendary biologist J. B. S. Haldane quipped, "The Creator must have an inordinate fondness for beetles. He made so many of them." Are Pseudogenes Junk?
5/31/2007 Evolutionary biologists regard “junk” DNA as one of the most potent pieces of evidence for biological evolution. Often identical (or nearly identical) segments of junk DNA occur in a wide range of related organisms. Curvaceous Anatomy of the Female Spine Reveals Ingenious Obstetric Design
2/14/2007 The arch in the small of your lower back is known as the “lumbar lordosis” and it plays an important role in allowing humans to stand upright and walk on two feet. Dinosaur Genome Size Estimates: Lagerstatten of Design

The old cliché “two wrongs don’t make a right” proves true in many situations, but in the genetics of the brain, two genetic wrongs can make a right Functional DNA amid Piles of Junk
4/1/2008 Sometimes my daughters' bedrooms are unbelievably messy. Junk everywhere. It often looks like a clothes bomb detonated. I have no idea how they can find anything in the aftermath of such devastation. Humpback Whale Fins: Fresh Evidence for Design

12/6/2007 New Discoveries Raise Questions about Molecular Evolution Kidney Stones- Evidence for Divine Design
10/1/2004 "It's the closest that a man will ever come to experiencing the pain of childbirth," the attending nurse proclaimed with a noticeable glee in her eyes. Her comment only added to my misery as I writhed in pain on a stretcher in the emergency room, waiting to pass a kidney stone. More on the Nucleoskeletal Hypothesis
7/12/2007 Study of Sexual Parasite Reveals Function for Junk DNA Opossum Genome Leaves Evolution’s Best Argument Dead in the Road
6/14/2007 First Marsupial Genome Indicates that Junk DNA Has Function Responding to a Skeptic
6/4/2009 The Q&A sessions during our speaking events are usually filled with high drama. This is the time when skeptics can come to the microphone and issue any challenge or ask any uncensored question they would like about the scientific case we have made for the Christian faith. The Appendix: Adding to the Evidence for Intelligent Design
9/10/2009 I am putting the finishing touches on a book about the quest to create artificial life in the lab. Going through this process makes it apparent that some material belongs in the book, but it doesn't quite fit in the main body. The Human Appendix: What Is It Good For?
10/1/2008 Viruses and God's Providence
6/11/2009 As I mentioned last week, the Q&A sessions of our outreach events are usually pretty exciting. During this part of the program, it's not uncommon for skeptics to issue challenges to our scientific case for the Christian faith. Viruses and God's Providence Revisited
11/26/2009 New Research Suggests More Reasons Why God Created Viruses Yet Another Use for “Junk” DNA
7/1/2000 A team of scientists from Case Western Reserve (CWRU) School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, has developed convincing circumstantial evidence for yet another function for so-called “junk” DNA. Bad Designs?Clutches and Appendixes Show Design
