Humans are still evolving. The species is becoming more gracile. There have been recent mutations in some to increase intelligence. Needless to say these were not trumpeted in the MSP.

Do not assume that the epitome of evolution is Homo sapien. I suspect that Mother Nature still has some tricks up her sleeve.

And this is the most common mistake of strawman evolution.

They think evolution denotes advancement. Every year everything gets better stronger faster more disease resistant etc. This is crap.

Every year the animals become more adapted to a CHANGING environment, some years it pays to be slimmer and faster, other years it pays to be fatter and slower but healthier. There is no such thing as a free lunch. In Biology the concept is known as antagonistic pleotropy.

Thinking that evolution denotes advancement, and assuming that humans are the end all be all (a delusion I do not labor under), they thus conclude “if evolution were true all plants and animals would have turned into humans”.

You need to hold off on the ad-hominem until you can aim at specific targets.

We have rules, you know!

The Creation Weenies as oppossed to Evolutionist Morons?

And so the Evolutionist Circle Jerk continues “we are smart and let us tell you why.”
