Evolution by itself does not bother me. We seem to have a firm understanding that mutations to DNA do happen, and that those mutations can be passed on to subsequent generations.
It may/may not be true that we see new forms emerging. But, as an example, we have all heard about bacteria “inventing????” new and better resistance to antibiotics.
What intrigues me the most is the “animus”. For lack of a better word, the “consciousness”.
The ghost in the machine.

Exactly... Art, prose, poetry, music, ballet, mechanical invention, medicine, law, forgiveness, love, gratitude, sacrifice, joy, couture, gourmands, gossip, drama, and several thousand other “TELLS” of the ghost in the machine....
