Bad Designs?"Junk" Dna Not So Junky1/1/2000 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 Design4/1/2001 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 Morsels5/22/2008 A sampling of new research uncovers more function for junk DNA, undermines one of the best arguments for biological evolution An Inordinate Fondness10/1/2006 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 Design2/14/2007 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. Design With A PurposeDr. Brad Sargent received his PhD in bioengineering from the University of California at San Diego in 1989. He is currently the director of systems integration at Omnica Corporation, a medical device design and development engineering consulting firm in Irvine, CA. Dinosaur Genome Size Estimates: Lagerstatten Of Design7/5/2007 Study of Fossil Remains Identifies another Function for Junk DNA Does Inflammation After Injury Traumatize The Case For Intelligent Design?10/21/2010 Nobody likes it when insult is added to injury. But when injury is compounded by inflammation, it is often fatal. Evidence For God’s Grace In Epilepsy Genes1/22/2010 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 Junk4/1/2008 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 Design7/1/2008 Is Junk Dna Evidence For Biological Evolution?5/3/2007 Long Terminal Repeats Function as Promoters for the NAIP Gene in Mammals Junk Dna Has FunctionAugust 10, 2005 "Junk" (or noncoding) DNA has become an icon of evolution. Evolutionary biologists maintain that because junk DNA is an imperfection, it provides incontrovertible evidence for evolution. Junk Dna Regulates Gene Expression9/13/2007 Junk DNA Plays an Important Role in Development Junk Dna: A Problem For The Evolutionary Paradigm?12/6/2007 New Discoveries Raise Questions about Molecular Evolution Kidney Stones- Evidence For Divine Design10/1/2004 "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 Hypothesis7/12/2007 Study of Sexual Parasite Reveals Function for Junk DNA New Research Highlights Elegant Design In The Inverted Retina6/3/2010 Imagine sitting in an airport, waiting to board a plane. Thankfully you have something interesting to read as you wait for the flight. You glance up as someone walks by—it’s the pilot. To your dismay, you see he is wearing sunglasses and is escorted by a seeing-eye dog! Opossum Genome Leaves Evolution’s Best Argument Dead In The Road6/14/2007 First Marsupial Genome Indicates that Junk DNA Has Function Pseudogene Decoy Reveals Hidden Evidence For Design7/8/2010 Do you remember the movie Dave? In this romantic comedy, the president of the United States suffers a stroke while having an extramarital affair and is in a coma. The chief of staff cooks up a scheme where Dave (Kevin Kline), an uncanny look-alike, is employed to impersonate the president. Responding To A Skeptic6/4/2009 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 Design9/10/2009 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 The Redundant Case For Intelligent Design: New Discovery Highlights The Robustness Of The Genome9/09/2010 I’m sure many of you have seen a reference at one time or another to “The Department of Redundancy Department.” Viruses And God's Providence6/11/2009 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 Revisited11/26/2009 New Research Suggests More Reasons Why God Created Viruses Yet Another Use For “junk” Dna7/1/2000 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.
