One can detect design without fully understanding the purposes of a designed product. That's like opening up the hood of a BMW. You know it's designed but you may not know what a certain component does.

I don't need to open the hood of a BMW to tell you what's in there is designed.

Seems that you are adept at detecting design in places you already expect to find design.

I didn't say you had to open the hood to detect design. You're engaging in meangingless banter.

You are *totally* missing the point.

The 'typos' are things that we have recognized in nature as being mistakes. We know what functional genes look like. We know what retrotransposons look like. We know the tell tale signs of DNA that has undergone random mutation.

The fact is the majority of our DNA consists of these things. Things we are as confident as one could be in science that these are errors.

Now if you say maybe they are not...then there is no way to detect design even if it appeared to be.
