From a recent article @ Uncommon Descent, by Denyse O’Leary:

First junk DNA proved Darwin was right, then when it turned out not to be junk, you can be pretty sure, it will still prove Darwin was right. Darwinism has become a catch-all for a tired, worn-out theory, hysterically popular in the academic culture, with no real definition or foundation for why.

As has been pointed out numerous times by many apologists in this field, assuming that an Intelligent Designer is behind the origin of life is a completely different way of thinking that provides insights that an evolutionary world view cannot. But by assuming that certain biological structures (e.g. appendix, male nipples, coccyx) are useless evolutionary leftovers, or that certain information (such as found in DNA) is junk, “rather than applying good research to figure out what they are for, evolutionists have hindered and delayed key insights into physiology that could have advanced medicine and increased understanding of biological design.” For example, “Some 180 body parts were considered vestigial as recently as the 1930s. The list included organs as vital as the pituitary gland and thymus.”

Would you like to have them removed?
