Thank you for your response.

Indeed, your link is to the New Scientist review that discusses the article I referred to. Unfortunately, it is only available via subscription.

It is not my recollection of events. "Junk DNA" was just a snappy title that stuck. I don't recall any scientist "claiming" DNA to be junk, just that the function of non-coding DNA was unknown, thus allowing speculation about its significance.

"junk" DNA is consequently also not produced by accident, don't you think? |
Not 100% sure what you are driving at here, but if you are suggesting some spirit force was directing events, you would need to support that idea with some evidence if you want anyone to take you seriously.
I understand you were once a Marxist, and are now disenchanted. Given how events have unfolded in the former Communist states of Eastern Europe, I am not surprised, but consider, do you not conflate Marxism, atheism and "Darwinism" as tools of state control, and the revival of Catholicism in the wake of the retreat of Soviet control has induced this somewhat hysterical reaction to current evolutionary biology?
