The term junk DNA may be out of favour becasue it is so easily misunderstood, but it is still used by geneticists at the forefront of research.
How do you explain the fact that a single cell amoeba has a genome 170 times bigger than you do?
It is full of junk DNA. Parasitic pieces of code that are hitching a free ride.
Our genomes also contain vast amounts of it. It has contirbuted a great deal of useful code to our genome but much of it is still pointless.
So where did the code come from before the "big squeeze" as you put it?
Cofty, they just got the human genome mapped 13 years ago. In 13 years the "junk" went from 98% to 20%. Where do you think the percentage of "junk" will be in 13 more years?
But this all a red herring anyway.
Where did the sophisticated coding languages come from? While you are contemplating that, imagine all the complex hardware needed to read, copy, repair and dissiminate that information. Where did that come from?
OMG - IT'S BEAUTIFUL

dullard, f#cking stupid, grade school stuff...
doesn't take long for the insults to start flying.
Wait. It didn't all just pop out of rocks and mud? That's what I get for listening to those theoretical scientists.
The origin of replicating molecules is not known for certain yet but there are some very promising hypotheses.
The most promising ideas are that the first cells were formed in alkaline vents below the ocean. Replication was probably established via RNA before cells became liberated from the vents.
The unversality of the code suggests a common origin of life - LUCA
By studying the differences and similarities of modern genomes our common ancestry is confirmed in detail...
I think it is likely that the transition from geochemistry to biochemistry will be solved before very long. Look at how far we have come in the past 150 years since Darwin.
The details are truly fascinating. If you wanted to you could read about them. Shall I recommend some books for you or do you prefer to stick with your superstitions?
if i dont understand something, the answer is properly a magic man made it!
never worked before as an explanation, but this time...
also, i love how creationists rail on about how so many gigacodons could have arisen, when that is explained the goalpost is imediately moved to how a small bit of code could arise in the first place.
cofty, you are great at describing EFFECTS,
the question was about CAUSES. what enabled matter to have this happen.
If you haven't broken open a biology textbook and read the chapters on DNA, go ahead and do so.
Atoms have a charge, they naturally collate together, even in space.
Atoms become molecules, compunds etc. These things also have charge, they interact and join together with other molecules dependant on the charges and enviroments.
These joined up elements can form all sorts of things, sugars, acids, water... these again have charges and attrctive-repellant properties.
You can guess where this is going, these things grow based on the enviroment and interactions of the forces.
Acids and sugars are DNA, when interacting with other molecules, they help jin together other molecules, these chains eventually become long enough to become proteins. Proteins are the basic unit of all the bodies tissues.
This process of joining together and interacting are based on laws of physics and influeced by the enviroment.
Taking a step back, the same molecules in the same situation will do the same thing, and other molecules will do different things... To simplify we give reference to
molecule one A
we call molecule two T
molecule three C
and molecule four G
Oh look, in different combinations these molecules form different proteing ACTG ATTT ATGT......
To call this a code, is to misunderstand what just happened ! WE MADE THE CODE to differentiate things we observed.
We can measure the universe with mathmatics, whether it be defining what an angle is, ascribing 360 degrees to a circle and pi. We can then go find mathmatical logical throughout the universe, because we have defned the rules of observation, measurement. It doesn't mean it is a code laid down by someone! That assumption is based on out human perception that CODES and LANGUAGE are made by someone. But WE ascribed the things we saw in the universe, letters, numbers, to better understand it in a perspective we can better understand.
Thanks for that video Perry, that was amazing!
It's amazing there is an entire world in just a single cell.
It reminds me of this picture, 
If there is an entire world in just one cell of our bodies, and billions of cells in our body itself, and the fact that our universe looks like a brain cell, perhaps our entire universe is within a braincell of something/ God lol.
BTW we have sufficiently explained the evolution of most of the stages of evolution of the cells organelles.
It is complicated stuff. If you don't even know what an organelle is, how can you go read about it? How can you google it?
This is why cellular biology is a degree in itself and one of the largest biology textbooks, taking 3 years to get to degree level (lowest in post school academia).
Just to put a youtube video into perspective....
