I await one of our resident biologists to tell me this is all completely wrong...
​
I haven't read more than your post yet so I guess I'll find out along with you how right or wrong others say you are.
​
Meanwhile thank you, it helps to have something to visualize. So the same basic stuff is there as in the rest of DNA but it doesn't make proteins for some reason?
​
Introns don't look any different from the rest of the gene hm?
​
Sorry it took so long to get over here. I was reluctant to switch because I'm trying to avoid the science forums for a while. May not stick around here either but I appreciate your info.

Re: Repetitive Elements, Pseudogenes and Intelligent Design
The propogation of repetitive elements is probably consistent with your view, yes. Although the phylogenetic patterns implied by the distribution of repetitive elements in different species are not consistent with YEC.
​
I'm glad something is consistent with my view. Thanks.
​
OK, I now have a lot to consider in this thread. Thanks to all for the input.
