Junk DNA: goodbye! (Introduction)

I am certainly not going even to hazard a guess as to how much of DNA is "junk" and how much is functional, and we have already had a detailed discussion on how important the question is for The God Theory anyway, since ID-ers and materialists will still put their own slant on the findings. I just want to point out one rather revealing passage:-"Now at least we know that they are real, and not just 'noise' or 'junk'. Of course the next step is to answer the question, 'what, in fact, do they do?'"-Before we are able to say goodbye to junk DNA, shouldn't we find out what, in fact, it does?
