Dr. Jonathan Wells’ The Myth of Junk DNA asserts that making baseless assumptions in scientific investigation puts a stop to further inquiry and the potential of innovative discovery. In this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin discusses how Dr. Well’s thesis continues to be confirmed as several articles, published since The Myth of Junk DNA, contribute to the downfall of the “junk DNA” concept through the discovery of previously overlooked functions.
