JUNK DNA IS NOT JUNK

As this blog has said more than once, what was dismissed by ignorant scientists as 'junk' DNA turns out to be far from that, as ScienceDaily reports.

It makes all the difference between man and apes.

But it should be no surprise to anyone that a far more sophisticated and intelligent creature should have vastly more processing-power in its DNA. It had to. It could not have been made with less.

It is simple logic. For the outcome to be more sophisticated and intelligent the fundamentals must be. If the DNA is as dumb as a brick it is impossible to get a highly intelligent creature.

CELLULAR PROCESSING-POWER MEASURED

This ScienceDaily reports the start of putting some hard data on the decision-making power of cells, individually and together.

At last!

But it overlooks the self-evident fact that a cell makes decisions about many things, not just one. The sum of all those possiblities, amplified exponentially by many cells, and by the passage of time over many generations, makes possible, obviously, enormous processing power.

THE PROCESSING POWER OF ONE NEURON

Using very fine electrodes, researchers have revealed some of the astonishing processing-power of a single human neuron.
