Great. 24 hours have passed and not on Creationist has tossed a tu quoque logical fallacy claim back in my face. I'm in irony overload. Unless of course my pointing out the tu quoque nature of the OP was engaging in tu quoque myself in which case my irony meter would implode in on itself disappearing in a tiny puff of logic.

Are there no Creationists who want to defend the rhetorical value of "Goo to you via the zoo" when the obvious response is that Creationism is "Clod to bod due to God?" Or is the serious discussion of issues like phylogenies, homolgous structures, ERVs, the fossil record, problems with flood geology less ego satisfying than empty bon mots?

Does that mean the "junk" DNA are the comments?

I prefer "vestigial DNA" over "junk DNA". These DNA sequences are analogous to toenails on manatees and the human vermiform appendix (or t!ts on a boar, if you prefer). Vestigial DNA may play a rudimentary role, such as gene spacing or in chromosome functions, but this role is obviously lesser than it's cousin "coding DNA". On top of that, some vestigial DNA is almost identical to coding DNA found in other species. Another description that I like is that vestigial DNA is evolutionary baggage.

Hence the quotes around junk. I was just making a software development joke, sorry.
