Function in "junk DNA" does not contradict evolution, and in fact is entirely consistent with it.

Okay, and what if no function were found in "junk DNA" what would that do?

Read the science news from about the past three days on "junk DNA" and whether or not it has any uses. Some new information out there, did you miss it?

You mean universally? There is certainly non-coding DNA that does not currently have a function. Knowing what we did 40 years ago, the absence of function in all non-coding DNA would be expected. Knowing what we do now, it would be quite surprising if there was no emergent function at all.
