For decades, ninety-eight percent of DNA was thought to be “junk,” useless leftovers from our supposed evolutionary history. Now, this view has held back scientific research.

Initially, many scientists didn’t even want to bother researching the so-called “junk” regions. But last year a team of researchers concluded “the days of ‘junk DNA’ are over” … and the old view has “fundamentally changed.” In other words, evolutionary ideas made another wrong prediction!

But, from a biblical worldview, we don’t expect most of our DNA to be useless junk. God designed our DNA, and even in a fallen world, we expect it to reflect his incredible design. And it does!
