"Certain colors of animals are FREQUENTLY selected for in nature. Those “color genes” get passed on to offspring all the time, changing populations....all the time. Insects and rodents do this ALL the time.

Don't confuse adaptation with "natural selection". We, and other species don't "evolve" to adapt to our environment. Our bodies simply wake up dormant genes that already exist in our DNA.

For evolution to be true, animals and humans would have to grow "improvements", add genes/ DNA which never existed before, become better, stronger, and above all, DIFFERENT. Why don't we ever grow a third arm and hand? It would come in handy after all, especially with all the multi tasking we are expected to do these days.

All we ever see with mutations in DNA/genetics is DEvolution, which leads to extinction.

And, we have NEVER seen any transitional forms, life changing from one form to another, IMPROVING.

We can see mutations, but they NEVER result in anything better, just something defective that either dies and/or is sterile and can't reproduce.

You asked for examples of NATURAL SELECTION.....not EVOLUTION.

Natural selection is merely having a trait, mostly a genetic trait but some are behavioral, that makes it more likely you will pass on your genes to your offspring, thereby changing the percentage of that trait in a population....typically a trait that makes you more likely to attract a mate or more likely to survive to reproductive age.

Continue your rant.
