Junk DNA
Can't recall where, but I recently saw something about junk DNA that was rather compelling. The gist of it was the way you can trace the evolution of junk DNA through various species as confirmatory evidence. The power of it, it seems to me, is that I can't imagine what possible design inference anyone could come up with to explain why related species have related junk DNA since, by definition, it serves no purpose in being there. About the only thing that seems even possible to me is the old fall-back argument that his lordship put that in there as a way to test our faith.
If anyone can find a site that explores this idea I'd appreciate looking at it.
