Dan Graur – Uncommon Descent

Another paper on the uses of junk DNA — which means something else for Dan Graur to be grumpy about

Whoops, it did.

ENCODE foe Dan Graur isn’t sure if Jesus existed

Wow. Dr. Graur should get out more. Only crackpots argue that Jesus did not exist… There is less evidence for the existence of Socrates but no one gets all skeptical about him. Interesting responses.

'Junk DNA' Intelligent Design

ENCODE produces a genomic encyclopedia

Readers may also remember ENCODE from a flap a few years ago when Darwinian Dan Graur announced that the ENCODE team had to be wrong in saying that there wasn’t nearly as much junk DNA as had been thought. After a while, Graur just wasn’t doing politeness any more.

Intelligent Design

Is Nature needlessly annoying Dan Graur, the champion of junk DNA?

Hmmm. Does someone have Miss Manners’ private e-mail or some other discreet means to get in touch with her, perhaps through a friend? Possibly Dr. Graur might wish to consider luncheon at some point. She is his guest, of course… 😉
