Secular biology, intelligent design, and creationist communities are abuzz with the recently reported data from 30 simultaneously published high-profile research papers in the field of human genomics, proclaiming that the human genome is irreducibly complex and intelligently designed.¹ From an evolutionary perspective, this is a massive blow to the myth of “junk DNA.”
