                         This article emphasizes that in the light of the
                 latest scientific developments, supposedly "junk DNA" like
               introns really do play a useful role in the life of organisms.

                 All these developments not only reveal new information about
            non-coding DNA, but also clearly point to the very important fact
            that the evolutionist concept of junk DNA was based on lack of
            knowledge and "ignorance" as Evan Eichler admitted. 97


              The Last Support for the Myth of Junk DNA

                has Fallen: A Pseudogene has been Shown to be


                                       Functional


                 Since the 1990s, important developments have all shown that
            the concept of junk DNA was an evolutionist error based on lack of
            knowledge. Non-coding DNA, like introns interrupting the sequence
            of genes and repetitive DNA found as longer sequences, have been
            shown to be functional. There was only one kind of non-coding DNA

            left whose functionality was unknown: pseudogenes.
                 The prefix pseudo means "false, deceptive." Evolutionists gave
            the name "pseudogene" to a DNA segment produced by a functional
            gene that had apparently undergone a mutation and lost its function-
            ality. Pseudogenes have a special significance for evolutionists, who
            covertly acknowledge that mutations cannot bring about evolution
              and have resorted to pseudogenes as a means to deceive people.

                     Countless experiments on living things have shown
                  that mutations always result in a loss of genetic data.
                     Just as a few random blows with a hammer will
                        not lead to improvements in the running of
