This was an educational non-fiction read. I thought you did a good job overall. I was enlightened by learning about the appendix, too.
Little fixes:

Finger printing and blood types, hair follicles can't compete with the precise business of solving crimes.
Something about this is slightly awkward. Maybe you meant to say: Fingerprinting, blood types, and hair follicles can't compete with the precise business of solving crimes.

The term Junk DNA was coined around 1970's by a geneticist named Ohno.
I would add the article 'the' in front of 1970s


To picture this best would go through the one hundred or so vestiges in the human body that would appear to serve no useful purpose.
I think you are missing a word in this sentence. Maybe: To picture this best, we would go through...

A few Markee examples of this would be the appendix, tonsils, and wisdom teeth.
I think you mean: A few marked examples of this would be the appendix, tonsils, and wisdom teeth.


Chrones disease, etc.
should be spelled: Crohn's disease (my niece has this)

As time has passed many scientific articles have had to admit that even non-coding DNA serves a purpose and in fact attaches with protein DNA to enhance and help prevent mutations.
I would put a comma after As time has passed,


However it is taught that mutations are what saved mankind.
(I would say there may be a few 'mutations' which are better for us, although they might not be considered mutations. For example, people in the nineteenth century were as much as six inches on average shorter than people today. If you go in pioneer houses, stairs are narrower, and doorways are shorter. Better nutrition has been attributed to gradually taller heights for people overall in our country over the past century or two.)

Question: Can you name even one good mutation? (See above)

I can name some bad ones, like Downes Syndrome, etc.
I will say it is spelled: Down Syndrome
I would hesitate to call it 'bad' as well, since I have a nephew with that.


One might say Viruses are the perfect example on the power of mutations where they reinvent themselves to survive.
I would un-capitalize viruses


The more we learn about our DNA the more we confirm that each person is special, unlike anyone else in the world.
I would put a comma after DNA,

We learn that DNA has been proving that what the creator gave us has an efficient purpose.
I think I would capitalize the Creator

I'm more convinced than ever that we are "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made." Psalm 139:14
I would take the extra capital letters out in that quote.

Afterall we live in a broken and fallen world.
After all (space between two words there)

No one is born perfect, but one's DNA from birth forward indicates intelligent design than random chance over millions of years.
rather than random chance

Maybe mom knew what she was talking about when she hugged her child after a rough day at school and said, "God don't make junk. You are loved."
Maybe Mom knew

It's not the mistakes that count, it's the grace that makes a difference and gets us closer to God's perfect son.
I think I might capitalize Son.

Thank you for sharing your research, Stan! I totally agree that God created us in His image and we are "fearfully and wonderfully" made.
I do think we can be thankful for the advancement in science which provides us ways to combat the effects of the Fall like the COVID virus. Some people refused to get vaccinated because they felt it would affect the "God" gene as if that were even possible. Your post was intelligently crafted and alluded to Scripture to support your stance. Thank you!

    I agree. I'm not anti-science. I'm pro-scientist with a Christian world view like Issac Newton, etc..

AMEN!! Thank you for this especially well written and important post. That's right. God doesn't make junk and He doesn't make mistakes. If you were born a man, you're a man, and the same for a woman. I enjoyed reading.

The term Junk DNA was coined around 1970's by a geneticist named Ohno. The paper he published was called, "So much Junk in the Genome." It was supposed that most of our DNA outlived its usefulness and like taking out the trash, it piles up during the evolution timeline.

So crazy overall

    It was supposed to be a road map, but for science it turned into a jungle unseen vegetation.

Thank you, Stan. I so appreciate you sharing this fascinating post. Although I have a genetic blindness, I have one of the rarest cases I have ever heard of. Most are blind in their teenage or early twenties. My auntie by the time she was 19. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa when I was 54. I'll be 69 this summer, surpassing my worst case scenario by five years. I still have a little bit of central vision remaining, 2 percent in each eye. I still write and function pretty well considering the loss. I know the Lord is able to heal me at any time or when He comes, which I believe is soon!
I too believe we are "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made." Psalm 139:14
Sending you my best today as always and blessings in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sal :))

    Amen and Thank you. I have many more I can research. I love the way the way our creator uses the miracle of water and how it ties to Jesus the water of life. Some say what doesn't behave the way other chemicals do. Many anomalies.

This is very good. I've always had trouble understanding how anyone with a brain could believe this world just eventually evolved without any intelligence at all. It seemed ridiculous. I also have always believe that everything in the human body is there for a reason. I had no choice but to lose my apendix and gall bladder, but I do still have my tonsils. DNA mapping is amazing. I had my done and all the many people I'm relatled to popped up and I learned exactly how much kin I was to eack of them.were. I'm glad the evolutionist are realizing they were wrong.

This is absolutely beautifully written and very informative. I enjoyed listening to it. I had an aunt and uncle whose genetic make up was so close to one another, even though they were not related at all. It was like they were married, brother, and sister, thereby all of their children, were born with genetic failures, and all were physically unable to ever go to school And died at a very young age. Patricia thank you so much for sharing this lovely piece.

The one thing that mutation is, a gigantic hole in the theory of evolution, mutation is very rarely a good thing, in fact as you point out it's normally a bad thing. It remains a bad thing scientifically speaking, and I, for one, am glad, it stops the incredibly devilishly arrogance of the scientist, it takes a lot of faith to be believe in evolution, beautifully written Stan, blessings Roy

I agree with the writer. God does not make junk; we are all loved by Him and built special for His pleasure. Man has names for findings, but it is always a gift from God. Good one, Bro.
