ingless. An article titled "Hints of a language in junk DNA" reported
studies by Boston University's Eugene Stanley demonstrating that
DNA sequences had features resembling those of a human language. 150
Ignorance was without doubt one of the reasons why these 97% of
DNA sequences were formerly described as serving no purpose. The
Cleveland University evolutionist scientist Evan Eichler admits this:
The term "junk DNA" is a reflection of our ignorance. 151
Ernst Mayr, himself an evolutionist, also refers to the inad-
equacy of our knowledge about genes:
A serious practical limit to science is the difficulty of ex-
haustively explaining the
workings
of a highly com-
plex system. The same
practical point can be made
about the regulatory mechanisms
of the genome, which are highly com-
plex and which are still far from being under-
stood. 152
An article titled "The Unseen Genome: Beyond DNA" in the
November 2003 Scientific American magazine quotes John S. Mattick, di-
rector of the Molecular Bioscience Institute at Queensland University in
Australia:
