    I don't really see what the point of this is. I accept the
    evolutionary theory as a reasonable working hypothesis.
    Likewise, I would also expect that many "junk genes" serve
    some kind of function that we don't currently understand.

    At most, what this indicates is the arrogance of *some* scientist
    who think they know everything, not that some junk genes are found
    to serve a useful function. It seems that *some* YEC also think
    they know everything, so it is not a sin unique to the scientific
    establishment alone. True wisdom make one humble.

    Whatever process God used to get us here, it is still remarkable
    creation and always seems to be coming up with new surprises.
