I think the theory of evolution is incorrect. That does not mean a guy on a cloud made us either....
Science doesnt disprove a creator,
i just shows that hes alot smarter than wed like to admit
You can't make heathen believe
"Junk DNA" is just proof that we were once more than we are now. It says we have room to grow. We just have to, shall we say, evolve?
I am sorry but it only works when people are open minded and really are seeking understanding/knowledge without preconcieved notions on what to expect and unfortunaly not all scientist or speakers for science are as open minded as they think they are or say they are.
I sometimes wonder about this place.
It's become the playground of right-wing religious fundamentalists that like to whine whenever anyone questions them.

It doesn't. Nitrogen and oxygen are codependent.
Yet funny enough we find nitrogen in places where there's no oxygen...which makes it abundantly clear that they aren't co-dependent.

You could be the greatest player in the world, but the pigeon will still knock over all the pieces, sh!t on the board and strut around triumphantly

A Creator is becoming impossible to deny. As John 1 states, we are created with WORD.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

Saying that Noncoding DNA is somehow indicative of evolution is a crap argument. Also stating that functionality of DNA that we don't completely understand is indicative of a creator or god is equally crap.
Is that the best you can come up with? I'm sorry, but I think it's funny, but sad, how a lot of people will do and say anything they can to avoid admitting that God exists.

Just because YOU can't think of a good enough reason for the existence of cancer, disease, old age, weakness, death, etc,. doesn't mean there isn't one.

There is, it's called mutations...
I didn't say mechanism for existence, I said reason for existence. Not how, why.

You realize that random mutations in genetic code have allowed certain subgroups of different species accomplish many feats their cousins can't...
I call that "adaptation". There is plenty of fudge factor there.
The example of Sherpas changing their blood to oxygen ratio is a minor swing. If a species was to adapt to say breathing nitrogen instead of just the amount of oxygen in the blood, then I'd say that was evolution. So, where are any examples of nitrogen breathers today?
And don't say plants because that was designed to be symbiotic. Humans O2---> CO2. Plants CO2--->O2. Kind of random, huh?
