What is the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Project?

Despite the feeble and desperate attempts by Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (plato.Sanford.edu) to minimize the ENCODE project's valididty- as their web page said: The ENCODE "project is sold as something it isn’t.")- the actual ENCODE project has finally quieted the "doubting Thomas's" of today - the evolutionists.

" Michael White from the Washington University in St. Louis said that the (ENCODE) project had achieved “an impressive level of consistency and quality for such a large consortium.” He added, “Whatever else you might want to say about the idea of ENCODE, you cannot say that ENCODE was poorly executed.”

U.S Natioanal Library of Medicine, NIH (Genetics Home Reference- Your Guide to Understaning Genetics Conditions", said on their official web page:

"The ENCODE Project was planned as a follow-up to the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project sequenced the DNA that makes up the human genome; the ENCODE Project seeks to interpret this sequence. Coinciding with the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, the ENCODE Project began as a worldwide effort involving more than 30 research groups and more than 400 scientists. (Emphasis, ours)."

The U.S. National Library of Medicine continues, "The approximately 20,000 genes that provide instructions for making proteins account for only about 1 percent of the human genome. Researchers embarked on the ENCODE Project to figure out the purpose of the remaining 99 percent of the genome. Scientists discovered that more than 80 percent of this non-gene component of the genome, which was once considered “junk DNA,” actually has a role in regulating the activity of particular genes (gene expression)."

Furthermore, ENCODE researchers showed that “Almost every nucleotide is associated with a function of some sort or another, and we now know where they are, what binds to them, what their associations are, and more,” says Tom Gingeras, one of the study’s many senior scientists."

"And what’s in the remaining 20 percent? Possibly not junk either, according to Ewan Birney": “It’s likely that 80 percent will go to 100 percent,” says Birney. “We don’t really have any large chunks of redundant DNA. This metaphor of junk isn’t that useful.” (Italics and emphasis ours)

Student's and Instructor's Opinion:

It is highly unlikely that 400 scientists and or 30 research groups would declare facts as "something it isn't". The desperate attempt by evolutionists to prove their esegesis is rather obvious with convincing evidence as DNA research becomes more evident that humans were created rather than mindlessly "evolved".

Eisegesis is the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text. This is commonly referred to as reading into the text. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=eisegesis&t=canonical&atb=v68-5_z&ia=definition
