netic data. According to evolutionist claims, a large
part of DNA is now non-functional. These parts did have a
function in the so-called past, but in time, after the alleged

evolutionary changes, they became vestigial—in short,
"junk." The parallel with Darwinism was quite
clear, and in a short time, the concept of junk
DNA became one of the most repeated
terms in scientific literature. But this
new version of the myth did not
have a long lifespan.

Especially with the an-
nouncement of the re-

sults of the
Human Genome
Project in 2001, it was
more and more loudly proclaimed
in the scientific world that the whole concept was
wrong, because the functions of so-called junk DNA were slowly
being understood. Evan Eichler, an evolutionist scientist from the

University of Washington, admitted that "The term 'junk
DNA' is a reflection of our ignorance." 81
Now, let's examine how the myth of junk DNA
was born and how it was discredited.
