Challenged History of Individuals with Contradicting Data & Junk DNA
Explore the historical challenges individuals faced with data contradicting the Word of God, alongside the insights on Junk DNA and its evolving understanding. Dive into the controversy around pseudogenes and the revelation of junk DNA's potential functions through scientific discoveries like the ENCODE project.

Richard Dawkins on Junk DNA Richard Dawkins on Junk DNA Before Before ENCODE ENCODE: : Pseudogenes Pseudogenes are have have now now been been sidelined sidelined and and are as as well well not not exist, exist, as as far far as as the the animal's scientist scientist is is concerned concerned they they very need need for for an an evolutionary evolutionary clock embarrassing embarrassing creationists creationists. .
