Doesn't it ever make you wonder who or what decided that these favourable traits are passed on generation by generation during the course of said evolution? It does not simply happen on its own, saying that nature makes everything. It sounds very lifeless to say that evolution goes by its own self. As though ... evolution does not have a pre-determined goal.

I believe evolution was done not by natural selection, in the sense that it happened by itself, but that it was guided by an invisible force. That same force which made nature as it is. There is a certain direction in which evolution is heading for ... a lot of people that it just happened by itself ... that's just not right. Everything in this world that is done definitely has a purpose, and evolution is no exception.

That's why I reject the idea of natural selection, Darwin saying that evolution is random. And I think that evolution has already ended. There's nothing more for anything to evolve further.

Ok, it's basic biology. In sexual organisms, their cell's nuclei contain DNA in with an even number of chromosomes. two parents pass of half of each other's chromosome set to their child. lets just say one child gets chromosomes that give it a disorder of some sort that puts it worse of than others in its environment. It is more likely to die, and thus will not be able to pass on the unfavorable chromosomes that lead to it's death.

that's how it works.

Only problem is we haven't evolved in a very long time. If anything we've devolved =P
