There’s a reason it’s called Junk DNA

DNA is full of sequences that just don’t seem to code for anything. FutureFeedForward hypothesizes what that Junk DNA really means:

Though declining to reveal the full results of their analysis, noting that some 97% of the human genome consists of biologically unused sequences with “a statistically significant chance of containing decipherable semantic content,” the team did release translations of a “number of passages of public interest,” including the warning “NOT TO BE REMOVED EXCEPT BY END USER.”

Certainly not an argument for inteligent design, unless the unspecified ‘creator’ was worried about liablity.
