Wouldn't evolution itself result in so-called junk DNA? I mean if in the process of evolution 'things', for lack of a better word, that do not presently serve a purpose are retained for future use or for further refinement then couldn't those 'things' be viewed as junk? Do a search on psuedogenes. Which is the term for supposedly inactive, unused, "leftover" genetic material.
