Evolution should have changed the birth canal by now one would think. Especially considering the fact that it is closely linked to survival of the mother [many women have died trying to birth a baby that would not fit through the canal] and her ability to pass on genetic information to her offspring.
Why haven't all of the narrow birth canal genes been selected out by now?

Once the mother has given birth her genes are irrelevent. Socialization has made sure the child is taken care of well enough withought a mother. But the previous post was right. Evolution simply passes along that which works well enough.

For this you will probably get the evolutionist's favorite tool of deception: time. "There just needs to be a few more billion years before this will happen," for example. And which of us is going to be around to prove or disprove that?!?!
