dhw:I think you have missed my point. No matter what discoveries are made about so-called junk, both sides will use them to ”prove” their point. From a materialist atheist standpoint, natural selection would have everything to do with it, because if junk is NOT junk, it can be claimed that natural selection ensures the disappearance of whatever is not needed.-You are still incorrect. 99% of species are gone. Junk represents previous useful DNA bases used by those lost organisms, thus proving evolution. Natural selection kills off organisms, which leave the junk behind. Now it turns out about 80% of DNA has some function, which puts this evidence for evolution in some doubt.
