Gene reactivation has been observed, so it's not impossible.

So evolution is just hanging onto those genes just in case they're needed again some day?

"But hey, if the need arises, the Designer has foreseen it." ???

The definition of inactive in this case, I believe, was that these genes don't code for proteins, not that they have no function or are useless.

I think our past experience shows we don't understand all the Creator has designed into the human frame.

Genes in cells are often turned on and off. The “inactive genes” may just need the right switch to be reactivated.
