  • Is it really true that less than 2% of genes are functional? Is the other 98% just "junk?"
    In episode 30 of The Creation Podcast, host Lauren Pennington and ICR geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins debunk misconceptions about the usefulness of genes. This episode will reveal some surprising facts about RNA production, regulatory functions of genes, and more!

    “In China we can criticize Darwin, but not the government; in America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin!”
    ― Jun-yuan Chen
    So true even today, in 2022, you can easily get 'cancelled' as a scientist for questioning evolution, and it's the livelihood of many a researcher, why would you? Even though there are bad theories upon bad theories to try and make it work. A lot of scientists don't like ENCODE specifically for the issues it has brought up about the Junk DNA issue and were scrambling to try to justify their theories about Junk DNA (even still holding to the fact that they think that some DNA is still Junk so their theory must still be correct). These discoveries are making fools of scientists who continue to follow 'Brocolli to Man' evolutionary theory, even decades after darwin himself would have wholehartedly abandoned it!

      ​@@lizd2943nonsense, their criticisms are 99% right, because Darwin was an uneducated unscientific idiot! He failed school, failed medical college and flunked theology training. All he was good at was killing and collecting animals. Darwin had no clue about the complexity of even the simplest cell, he was clueless about organelles, DNA, enzymes, protein machines and the Krebs cycle etc etc, most intelligent scientists admit, if Darwin knew what we know today, he would not have published his ideas on evolution in the first place.

    Random mutations are essential for evolution theory. Populations naturally vary, and individuals with beneficial mutations may be more likely to survive and pass on their mutation to offspring. DNA changes and modifications (mutations) play a crucial role in shaping the evolution of life on Earth. Evolution:
    Natural selection acts on genetic variation, leading to gradual changes in the population.
    New species can emerge over long periods as advantageous traits accumulate. Your DNA and my DNA are 99% the same. A chimpanzee is 98.6% the same as you and I.

      @@truthbebold4009 Calling something 'junk DNA' is not an error, neither is it the correct scientific term - so you are simply building a strawman argumeng here. Non-coding DNA does have functions, including having a role in Gene expression - however what it does not do is code for proteins. Some of it does code for RNA which has a function withing the cell and the body.
      Some of this non-coding dna is fragments of viral dna which we hvae inherited from ancestors and which we share with great apes.

    Much of what the guest explains is accurate. However, scientists are generally divided on the matter. Ever since ENCODE there has been a significant decline in the use of the term "junk DNA" for more neutral terminology in the literature. It does not make sense that the genome would be 100% functional though because part of our genome is a repository of historical viruses and pseudogenes. But I give this video some props for the insights since even designs made by humans are not 100% functional either (generic aesthetics, arbitrariness of safety factors, overspacing, color, redundancies, repetitive elements). There certainly are numerous parallels with nature and design.

    • @lizd2943
      @lizd2943 10 месяцев назад +2

      Uh, no. ENCODE only got their 80% functionality claim by calling transcription a function, which it is not. They were criticized by everyone in the field and withdrew it.

    He neglects to point out two important studies that have shown that only a relatively small percentage of the genome is conserved. Estimated between 8 to 15%. The other part mutates at a high rate indicating that it is not important. So it is correct to say that not all noncoding DNA is conserved (only 2% is coding), however, there is no evidence based on mutation rates that most noncoding DNA in not junk. As one who has studied mutation mechanisms in human DNA for many years, I feel confident in saying that all changes in human DNA can be explained by random processes and that no rational person (or creator) would ever design a genome in this fashion.

    Hello, my brothers and sisters in Christ. You believe evolution happens? Let me ask you a question. With the car you drive, did the air conditioner come as standard equipment or did it slowly form after you bought it? With the theory of evolution, it postulates new adaptations come from DNA mutations getting naturally selected as the environment or diet changes.
    Conversely, let me ask you this question. If God exist, would adaptations happen WITHOUT the integrity of the precious DNA being compromised? Would this biological system in all life come as standard equipment? Like your car's A/C came as standard equipment? The answer comes in the next paragraph.
    The answer is YES. This biological system is called the EPIGENOME. Its actions are called EPIGENETICS. It works by gene methylation/chemical modifications into a predictable conclusion in the adaptation.
    Such as bacteria becoming antibiotic resistant. A finch passing on a new beak shape to its offspring in just two generations to a changed diet...not a couple million years as postulated with 'Darwin' Finches. A lizard passing modification to its offspring of a elongated gut as it switched from an insect to a plant diet. Stickleback fish as it switches from fresh water to salt water. Cave fish passing modifications to its offspring for eyes or loss of them. In regards to the subway mosquito. In regards to the cinclid fish. In regards to sparrows having their wings shorten or lengthen. To elephants having their trunks missing in their offspring due to poaching.
    All the above are epigenetic-derived adaptations. NOT evolution-derived. Coming as standard equipment in life. These adaptations have been called 'MICROEVOLUTION' for all these decades! A false precept. This has been the cornerstone of the evolutionary theory. A 'stone' said be granite-solid turning out to be sand! Upon this false precept, the macroevolution mind-constructs were built. EFFECTS from mutations were called 'evolution' were added to this sand-made cornerstone of evolution. These effects are trait and phenotype changes.
    Then the assertion of the fossil record 'proving' evolution becomes pareidolia. Like seeing shapes and patterns like Walt Disney characters in clouds. Or 'patterns' in DNA sequences between 'evolutionary cousins'. It is contrived preponderance of the evidence arguments with conclusion bias.
    There you go. Evolution is not happening. We are a 100% creation by Jesus Christ, also know as The Word in Genesis.
