How Much of Genome is "Functional" or "Neutral"?

[Faizal_Ali]

@Giltil

Anyway, are you contesting that as the fonctionnel fraction of the human genome grows, the plausibility of the idea that human and chimps evolved from a common ancestor by some undirected mechanisms decreases?

Yes, I am.

Something being overlooked here: It is ID Creationism, and not evolution, that is threatened by the idea of a genome that is largely functional, as @T_aquaticus discussed here on this thread:

No Junk DNA vs. Rarity of Function

In my most humble opinion you either misunderstand or misrepresent the ID argument. It would perhaps be helpful if you could quote an actual argument. I would be very interested to see where any high profile ID figure makes the argument that function is rare in DNA sequence space.

This ultimately led Ann Gauger to admit what evolutionists had been trying to explain to her for years: That ENCODE’s identification of biochemically active sites in the genome did not translate to biological function.
