The Misconception that Non-Coding

DNA is Useless

To better understand this evolutionist error, we must know
something about the structure of the DNA molecule.
This giant molecular chain within the cells of living creatures is
often referred to as a data bank, because of the genetic information it
contains. At the same time, this molecule contains a genetic code that

directs how this data is employed in the body's activities. As detailed
in the previous chapters, every evolutionist's attempt to explain the
origin of the DNA molecule has been unsuccessful, and it's been es-

tablished that the data it contains could not have come into existence
at random. The DNA molecule is clearly an example of a superior
Creation.
The special parts of DNA encoding our physical characteristics
and physiological activities are called genes, which play a role in the

synthesis of various proteins and ensure that we survive. But the to-
tality of our genes makes up only about 10% of our DNA. The re-
maining 90% is known as "non-coding DNA" because it does
not direct the production of any proteins.
Non-coding DNA can be categorized into some
sub-groups. Sometimes, it's found squeezed
