Scientists believed and taught for ages that only gene-coding DNA (which is a small fraction of DNA in human and other genomes) was functional. All other DNA was "junk" leftovers from a long evolutionary past. But recent studies have shown that non-coding DNA actually carries useful and vital coded instructions.1
Look at the deceptive way they set this up with their propaganda. They pretend as if evolution is "disproved" if introns are found to have a function (or partially). That is a straw-man because if introns have some function that doesn't disprove evolution! And of course it's the "big bad scientists" who called this part of the DNA "junk" DNA - But that's perfectly logical. IT WASN'T KNOWN TO HAVE A FUNCTION. So they speculated about its origin and its continued presence in the DNA. This was not a conspiracy to promote evolution. It's the natural result that when the function is unknown people will wonder why something exists. An evolutionary remnant is a perfectly plausible proposition given all the
other things we know.
Oh, and who is it that has determined introns to possibly have some purpose (even though of course genes for transcription are not coded in them - that is the fact, not a theory, and that is why it was called junk DNA at first), well what do you know? It's the
scientists who did! So these scientists aren't also part of the big bad conspiracy to promote evolution? They're renegade scientists? No! They are researchers who uncovered something new. (and we see that it is published even if anti-evolutionists think it helps their case - no conspiracy involved) And this website hijacked it to promote their agenda against "the scientists"
