> dhw: Perhaps you overlooked the rest of my post! Let me repeat it for you:
> "[...] if none of it is junk, atheist evolutionists can claim natural selection has streamlined DNA, theists can claim that God has streamlined DNA, and theist evolutionists can claim that God designed DNA in such a way that natural selection would streamline it. It doesn't matter what we discover about Nature, the information can always be twisted to fit the theory."-You persist in missing the point, which is why I have ignored the above. The evolutionists point to junk as proof of evolution. Lots of inventive mutations discarded in the process of evolutionary development, creating a huge pile of DNA junk, which then 'proves' evoluton happened from the debris left behind. The discovery of functional material in 80% of DNA, and the realization of spacer material (3-D) has the confirmed atheistic evolutionists screaming and yelling (read Larry Moran's blog as an example) makes DNA look very designed and supports the idea of theistic evolution. Natural selection has streamlined nothing. DNA is a huge complex structure with all sorts of partially hidden controls.-And you are right about twisting. Dawkins is doing just that. He has quotes saying that junk proves evolution and newer quotes which tell us, the lack of junk proves evolution.
