Junk DNA
Before the human DNA code started to be mapped out in detail in the early 2000s, it was generally believed that a substantial part of our genetic code constituted ‘junk DNA’, which fitted the evolutionary model well, as it could be looked upon as an evolutionary leftover. This ties into the fact that only a relatively small part of the genetic code is concerned with protein manufacture, which was originally seen as the primary function of DNA. Research over the last 20+ years has revealed however, that DNA does a lot more than just manufacturing proteins, and that its function is a great deal more complex than was originally believed, thus adding great weight to the argument in favour of intelligent design, as opposed to everything happening by chance.
