In the junk DNA there is just about
everything that has been tried, if it hasn't been harmlessly corrupted
over the aeons.

That doesn't mean that it is a "memory bank" Just a repository for
turned off sequences. What turns them on again is a moot point.
Evolution isn't using these if needed, it is being lucky enough to
have a random mutation that confers a survival benefit. And when all
your non-mutated peers are dying from some environmental change
(antibiotics) , you will outcompete them.


But what if a mutation in the past had developed an ability to access the
junk DNA under stress? Would that be as complex as developing eyes
ears and advanced emotions by mutation?

What if some thing that are now blue turn green on August 5th, 2005 and we
have a new color bleen, blue that turns to green.

You stabbing in the dark about thing you have no knowledge of. Do you trust
propaganda machines more than scientist that spend their lives working in a
field?
