==[[Evolutionism]] vs. [[Science]]==
Starting from his [[evolutionism|evolutionary]] world-view, biologist [[Dawkins]] expressed his following [[belief]]s about the "junk DNA" in his book ''Devil's Chaplain'':<ref>{{cite book |author=Richard Dawkins |title=A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt |year=2004 (reprint) |page=99|url=http://books.google.no/books?id=loVMMlxC1XoC&dq=Dawkins+Devil+chapel&q=littered#v=snippet&q=littered&f=false}}</ref>:
<blockquote>''[[Genome]]s are littered with nonfunctional [[pseudogene]]s, faulty duplicates of functional [[gene]]s that do nothing, while their functional cousins (the word doesn't even need scare quotes) get on with their business in a different part of the same genome. And there's lots more DNA that doesn't even deserve the name pseudogene. It, too, is derived by duplication, but not duplication of functional genes. It consists of multiple copies of junk, "tandem repeats", and other nonsense which may be useful for [[forensic science|forensic]] detectives but which doesn't seem to be used in the [[body]] itself. Once again, [[creationist]]s might spend some earnest time speculating on why the [[Creator]] should bother to litter genomes with untranslated pseudogenes and junk tandem repeat DNA.''</blockquote>
