Junk DNA and Illustrating the Paradigm of Evolution
I am sure we have all heard this term "Junk DNA", it's a huge Icon for Evolution, that we would expect to see a bunch of fragmented bits of junk baggage from the Evolutionary processes. Of course unbiased, objective Scientists, all of which are Evolutionists, would never fall to emotionally charged arbitrary arguments because they just stick to the facts.
The following article:
On the Immortality of Television Sets: "Function" in the Human Genome According to the Evolution-Free Gospel of ENCODE
As I read, they accused ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) of being biased and performing the Fallacy of Affirming the Consequent. Then the rest of the article goes on how ENCODE is wrong. Why do they have to accuse ENCODE of an agenda of a Human Genome without including Evolution?
Evolution is a Paradigm,
if attacked, be prepared for the backlash, and this article shows that it’s not
just people who believe in God who will be attacked either. Evolution is like a box, where all Scientists
are supposed to interpret all facts based on.
To think outside the box, is unthinkable, and according to them “Pseudo-Science”
I find it interesting
that Secular Scientists pretend that they are objective and free of bias, when
they come to evidence. I don’t know if it’s willful ignorance, or as Will Smith
says in I-Robot “you are the smartest dumb person I have ever met”
Scratch that, it is
willful ignorance: Romans 1:19-21
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, has been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world. in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse, for although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him. but they became futile in their thinking and their foolish hearts were darkened.

One conclusion from
this that I have been thinking about is the co-mingling of Observable, Testable,
and Repeatable Science with History.
Evolution is a historical theory at best, as well as Creation. Secular Scientists and Atheists often say “We
just let the evidence speak for itself” Evidence that speaks for itself is only
able to do that when it can Observed, Tested, or Repeated! We cannot replicate Evolution. A video game does not count because people
set the parameters.
Another conclusion is
that they only let the evidence speak for itself when it points to their
Paradigm, Evolution. As Proverbs 26:4
says “Do not argue with a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be
like him” You need to address their Worldview and the Paradigms that they hold
onto. Once you show them that they
themselves are subjective to these things, and then you can share your
Worldview or Paradigm with them.
In these things your
giving them an answer for the hope that you have inside of you – 1 Peter 3:15. Many of them need a patient rational love
that only the Bible expresses. It’s not heady;
it’s the renewed rational mind reflecting their pretend rationality.
