Darwinism Deselected - Part 5: The Myth of Junk DNA

In Part 5 of Darwinism Deselected, Subboor Ahmad tackles the fascinating topic of “junk DNA”. He walks through how leading Darwinists once argued that around 98.8% of our genome was useless genetic rubbish, using it as a weapon against belief in God and intelligent design. Drawing on the history of the selfish gene concept, the central dogma and decades of rhetoric about pseudo-genes and repetitive DNA, Subboor shows how this “junk” label discouraged scientists from even looking for function. He then explains the 2012 ENCODE results and later work revealing that much of this non-coding DNA actually plays crucial regulatory and informational roles in the cell, turning the old narrative on its head. The episode exposes how ideological commitments shaped the science, and why the emerging picture of the genome poses serious problems for neo-Darwinism.
