The MYTH of Junk DNA (Long Story Short, Ep. 12)

Ғылым және технология

Is the idea of junk DNA this one of the biggest mistakes in science in our lifetime? Only about 1% of our DNA codes for proteins, so what is the other 99% doing? Many evolutionary scientists over the years insisted that the non-protein coding DNA is largely junk, but intelligent design theorists predicted function will be prevalent throughout our genome. Guess which prediction turned out to be right?
Learn how scientists have discovered that the vast majority of our genome has function in this installment of the “Codes of Life” mini-series produced as part of the "Long Story Short" show on KZread.

    Dive deeper into the current state of the debate over junk DNA. Find out why Intelligent design theorists have long argued against the idea that non-protein coding DNA is useless evolutionary junk, and how others are now shifting their thinking on the functionality of DNA. On a new episode of ID the Future, Dr. Casey Luskin gives me an update on the paradigm shift around the concept of “junk DNA” - idthefuture.com/1845/

    As a college biology professor, I always assumed (and taught) that for the information in the DNA to be able to make sense for the creation and maintenance of the human (or any other) organism, the DNA that codes for proteins constitutes the words, and the rest of the DNA must constitute the grammar. I actually just learned from DI that there has been an intense debate about the role of non-coding DNA for decades. The idea of junk DNA is just silly--I guess, just as silly as the whole mindless evolutionism paradigm.

    Well, sort of? As you know, there's plenty of non-coding DNA. That's not the same as "junk DNA" which was an idea briefly kicked around a few decades back. The fringe loves a dramatic phrase, though.

    I really doubt you're a college biology professor, but, in the slightest chance that you're not an internet troll, how do you explain the c value paradox? How to you solve the onion test? How do you explain experiments on knockout mice in which mega bases worth of genome were deleted, with no noticeable effect on the mice health? How do you even explain that crossing over doesn't cause mayor disruptions and harmful mutations each time it occurs, without huge portions of the genome which are non functional?

    I bought 'The Selfish Gene' after I left uni because a) it was on my supplementary reading list, and B) because it was a famous book. I read the first page of the preface, laughed and stuck it on my shelf. About fifteen years later I looked at it, saw that the spine showed it to be unread and thought, 'That is a famous book, I ought to read it.' So I read the first page of the preface, laughed, and remembered why it was unread.

    In computer programming, there's an error verification method called a checksum, which is used to ensure that the data saved or copied, is done so without error. At a glance, checksums don't look like information, but they're crucial for ensuring data integrity. It would be interesting if some of this seemingly "junk dna" was actually a cell's checksum. Most of man's inventions just imitate some natural system that already exists, so it wouldn't surprise me if this programming method existed in cells first.

    Credit the scientific method for discrediting mistaken theories. In science, the purpose of making a theory is to test it, then improve it to be consistent with the results of the tests, then test the improvement and improve it, etc. If you've stopped testing and improving a theory, and you are using it, it's a technology. A problem with this can be that some people accept and promote a theory technology while ignoring that the theory fails to be consistent with the results of some tests.

    One of the unanswered questions of Darwinism is how two very similar species can co-existence in the same environment despite one being ostensibly "superior" to another. One of the big hoo-rahs i have seen about the intelligence of chimps is that they hunt monkeys by orchestrating ambushes as a group. If the survival of the fittest mentality were really present here, shouldn't the chimps not only hunt the monkeys for sustenance, but also try to exterminate them because the monkeys' anatomy and arboreal lifestyle makes them a kind of minor rival to the chimps? This failure to eliminate rivals is also at the cellular level. One confounding quote from early in my high school biology class was that "eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells, so it makes sense that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes." This matter-of-fact tone sounds convincing, until you realize that it does not explain how the first eukaryotic cell was able to survive since it presumably arose in a crowd of prokaryotes which, despite having rudimentary defenses, would likely have seen the unfamiliar organism as a threat and killed it immediately. Even if we were to assume that many eukaryotes developed simultaneously in the same general area, and were so powerful that they could just plow through their prokaryotic competition and pursue domination, then we have to answer the question of how prokaryotes have managed to persist over billions of years until today despite their superpowered eukaryotic cousins bullying them all that time.

Biologists have collected and presented hundreds of pieces of observable evidence consistent with evolution having occurred. As far as I can tell, all that creationists have is a belief, and an insistence that anything contradicting their belief is wrong, which I think is both delusional and extremely bankrupt. Any 1 can claim anything is true. Prove your claim that evolution is a false paradigm.

    As a computer scientist, I always thought "Junk DNA" was a junk idea. The human genome is only about 4 billion base pairs long. Four billion might seem like a lot but it encodes for how to build a human being at the molecular scale! And it was clear to me that there must be error-correcting information included, or life would have died out long ago. It was known, after all, that very small coding errors resulted in deadly genetic diseases. We had not discovered the error correcting sequences, nor the error-correcting mechanisms, and so (again from a computer science perspective) the idea that you could say that all the remaining code that we didn't know the function of was "junk"...well, that's an ignorant position to take.

Even now, materialist evolutionary theory proponents are meeting quietly because they know that their creative mechanisms don’t explain nearly enough of the biodiversity we see.

    This video is misleading in the sense that there was public (among scientists) disagreement with the idea of ‘junk dna’, based on the notion that biologists were simply incapable even of knowing the function of the genes they could detect, much less parts of dna they knew nothing about, back in 1978. The idea was simple: junk dna people were making claims concerning parts of dna about which they could have no knowledge. Thus they could not know whether it was junk or not. Since this disagreement goes back at least as far as 1978 among professors of biology, it’s hard to see how someone could take any ‘scientific credit’ for having doubts about junk dna as late as the 1990s. Why is the video claiming this? [Note that I went to a (very poorly attended) public lecture by Dawkins in 1978 during which multiple biology professors disagreed with the idea of ‘junk genes’, touted by Dawkins, based on the logical objection I outlined above. Nobody agreed with Dawkins that he could know whether any of the dna was junk. I was the only one in the room who was not a biology professor.]

[The video makes a nice case that the notion of junk genes has dragged on, not that someone in the 90s was the progenitor of the opposite view, because that opposite view was certainly around among biology professors in the 1970s. Cheers.]

    @@DiscoveryScienceChannel The poster is informing you that you don't seem to understand that the existence of junk DNA was disputed by biologists since the beginning of the concept, and that people like Richard Dawkins (known to be "adaptationists") disagreed with the concept of junk DNA since, to their minds, natural selection would get rid of junk DNA. So in the minds of people like Dawkins, junk DNA was never a prediction of evolution. It gets even worse when this video claims junk DNA was based on ignorance, rather than a collection of several independent lines of evidence(genome size variation, sequence conservation, mutational load, most of the genome is actively silenced since it's made of decaying retroviruses, pseudogenes, retrotransposons etc.) that junk DNA is real and that many species have large amounts of it.

    So apparently you and this handful of biology professors are the only people aware of how long this schism runs in time. Because all this publications cited in the vidoe didn't know that. And all people involved didn't know that junk DNA is a fringe idea. Doesn't mean you are wrong, but it means that popular videos like this still are needed

    If intelligent design theorists have been claiming junk DNA is not junk, and it turns out it's not junk, then good for them. I'm not a biologist, but I've been wary of the assumption that junk DNA is junk, and I've been waiting for that assumption to be thoroughly tested. I'm still waiting. If junk DNA really is not junk, it will still not prove Intelligent design is correct, it will only prove that those who believed junk DNA is junk were wrong.

    @PaulMarostica It never claims that it proves intelligent design to be correct. But it is a demonstration of the predictive power of intelligent design and an example of a failed prediction based on evolutionary biology. Watch from @7:36 The "correctness" of intelligent design is founded on the logic of the design inference.

    Don't mean to pat myself on the back, but I've been saying for years that it is completely obvious (and should have been obvious to the scientists) that if all the genome did was direct the production of a variety of protein molecules it would be virtually useless, because in order to build a body (or anything else !) you need FAR more than just the building MATERIALS, you need precise instructions of when, and where, and how to FORM the parts and ASSEMBLE the parts. A human being is not just a pile of protein molecules !

    "junk DNA" is a poor excuse to resist the humility of saying "we don't know yet". It's a sad irony that the scientific fields require humble acceptance that hypothesis can be wrong and must be reassessed, and yet it's occupied by so many people who clench fist onto presuppositions because they want that grant money and fear of being blacklisted. Thanks for sharing the vid! 😊 The Lord does make junk, He makes beauty from the ashes!

    They do that pretty much every single time they don't know something. Another example is the appendix, they claimed for years that it was useless and even caused millions of people to get theirs removed without necessity, but now we know it's a part of your immune system and filters out toxins, which is why when it bursts it can kill you.

    One correction... Intelligent Design has its roots in the late 70s and 80s if not earlier. I have a terrific technical book by A.E. Wilder Smith from the 80s that addresses Intelligent Design as an answer to the DNA problem of junk DNA. Otherwise, this is a great video on DNA v junk DNA

    Why does this video omit mention of the 2014 ENCODE paper that significantly walked back the claims of the 2012 paper? Has the author of this video read that paper? The ENCODE authors in that paper provided criteria for what would constitute "function" as opposed to "activity", and showed data that, according to their criteria, indicates most of the activity they were documenting was likely spurious rather than functional. It's called "Defining functional DNA elements in the human genome" by Kellis et al., and I encourage everyone to look it up and check for themselves. Discovery Institute isn't telling the whole story. About 1 minute in, "it was assumed that the other 98% was junk" - that's not accurate and has never been the case. About 2 minutes 10 seconds, those publications are not *predictions*. They are *descriptions* of the evidence that overwhelmingly indicates that most of the human genome is nonfunctional. The graphic at about 5 minutes is a misrepresentation, conflating activity and function, as so many creationists do. To be fair, many ENCODE members did the same, but the 2012 paper was more circumspect and precise than the press releases and creationist narratives. About 5 minutes 30 - the consensus is very much *not* that "junk DNA isn't junk". Virtually nobody still agrees with the 80-100% functional claim Birney made (except maybe Birney). All the quotes from around the 6 minute mark - why didn't you do that for the what you called "predictions" early on, even though some of those papers and books are more recent than what's shown here? What specific % of the genome do creationists think, per about the 6 minutes 45 mark, "regulates gene expression"? Has the author of this video read Larry Moran's book?
