<But perhaps they live in you and in me and in others…for a little while because of junk DNA…>

There you go...I have another theory that all information states existed in the Big Bang and reality is a condensation from these states. So, every letter I write now was stored as a potentiality in the original wave state that was the Big Bang - anyway that's the basis of my conjecture. This is not necessarily a denial of free choice (which is largely a matter of degree anyway - I can't choose to be on the moon right now) but more a statement of the existence of the ranges of that choice being predestined by prior conditions.

So, in another equally real way, there was a world where the Armistice of WWI didn't produce Hitler, and a world where there was a Hitler. Now, it seems silly to consider the world without Hitler because it was so far upstream, we sort of take it for granted as a given, but up till some point in the past (when, exactly, can be argued), the two worlds coexisted together in a nebulous, distributed state which crystallized over time. Free choice by the people of the time was essentially a decision to choose between two distinct, but primordially encoded, states... Maybe Junk DNA is just an antenna that allows the noise of the universe to be sampled in a systematic (and historically meaningful,) way... Attention: we have resonance on section 13b of Junk DNA sequence AGCTAGCTA stored over on chromosome 46.

Provided there is a receptor in the nanostructures of the cells (and their controlling genes can detect and react to it), a response can be mustered based upon ratios of simple protein synthesis.
