“Creatures evolve to live in specific suitable environments. Today I was reading about Marsupial evolution compared with Mammalian evolution. There are Marsupial anteaters and mammalian anteaters and they both evolved effective strong claws to tear apart termite mounds. Marsupial moles and Mammal moles both are nearly blind and have powerful digging claws. Unlike almost all other Marsupials which have a baby pouch which aims upward, the Marsupial moles pouch aims downward so they don’t scoop dirt into the pouch as they crawl along. Evolution is amazing.”
What’s interesting is all the things you point out here could be used as arguments for design as well.
I think this question is still well beyond the scope of science and that’s why it’s so “controversial”.
Contrast to, say, the properties of gold, aren’t particularly controversial.
The *property* of Gold is very controversial.
Everyone wants to pretend it belongs to them. :-P
