Evolutionary Awakening Theory

The Theory of Evolutionary Awakening stipulates that humanity has had supernatural abilities for centuries. These powers have been slowly encoded in our DNA, previously thought of as only junk DNA in a dormant state. It wasn't until a specific catalyst occurred that these powers become latent. What this catalyst could be has yet to be discovered or successfully theorized on. General theory is that some sort of cosmic event occurred to Earth and beyond, causing these powers to activate.

Criticisms
While this theory grants some credence to scientific theory, it is generally dismissed by biologists due to its misconceptions on the theory of natural selection. The largest flaw concerns on how these traits could of naturally evolved in a species that has, up until modern times, never used these abilities. Had the human species had these traits encoded in our DNA, natural selection would of filtered them out long ago.

In addition, many scientists claim that many of the powers currently seen cannot be explained through simple biological means. Many powers seem to defy laws of physics or simply do not have a feasible biological explanations.

Finally, many biologists argue that "junk DNA' is a misnomer and that their function in biology is important outside the Theory of Evolutionary Awakening.
