Would be good to get a coherent explanation of this from the ID supporters: The largest genome to date is a species of pine tree, at a draft genome size of 23.2 Gbp (giga/billion base pairs) it is 7 times the size of a human genome. The percentage of repeats is 82% of the genome. The ID/creationist assumption is that ever single one of those base pairs must mean something i.e. have purpose. The natural view is that such duplications happen spontaneously and have no specific purpose at all. genomebiology/2014/15/3/R59/abstract
