[quote]We were descendant from apes...[/quote]More specifically, evolution teaches that we and apes were descended from a common ancestor. [quote]...and we slowly evolved into humans. What were we in the middle stages? Hunched over apes? Disformed animals?[/quote]Evolution brings up the fact that our biology is an ever-changing process so more specifically, we are never at a moment considered "in the middle stages" since that would have to be implying that our biology would be at a point "limited" and no longer "evolving," but the study encourages that every organisms environment very slowly affects the genetics of that organism's line.[quote]Animals adapt to nature.[/quote]True, but no matter what they do, they can't change their biology (I'll explain in a little bit). [quote]If a fish in its middle stages grew wings but couldn't fly yet, would [it] mean it [would have] useless wings, which wouldn't be adapting at all. It would be making it worse... Wouldn't we go extinct because we honestly wouldn't belong in nature?[/quote]This is where Natural Selection conflicts with itself. According to the evolutionary process of Natural Selection, it affects the physical (which actually also leaves us to speculate about the origins of intelligence) because of the current environmental hazards affecting the biology of the organism in that current environment. As observed in the OP, the insect scenario showed that the insects "evolved" from their current state to a more resistant state to the DDT, but mysteriously reverted. Natural Selection serves to evolve those that are at a physical advantage, and cause those that are at a physical inconvenience to die before procreation among its own kind (and that's another point that I'll get to). So in this process, the physical adept evolve not to form new appendages or to learn new information but to survive in their current state (as it is again exhibited in the insect scenario). Hypothetically, if a fish wanted to go on land, it would have to gradually develop the ability to do so over many generations. Correct? Answer: Limbs. ...but what does this do to the biology of the animal? Answer: It becomes no longer streamlined; and so, according to evolutionary process dictated by Natural Selection, it naturally dies, but that species is preserved from mutations and extra-genetics. No matter how evolution causes biology to evolve, it isn't by the dogma of Natural Selection since it contradicts the process of evolution; and so, the science conflicts.[quote]I thought our ape evolution would make us more intelligent and more adaptive not downgraded...[/quote]Intelligence is not heriditary. It is not something that if a doctor and another doctor had a child, their child would not have at least a smart enough mind to be adequate enough to obtain a master's degree. Evolution is very contradictory. It is one of the best forms of pseudoscience. It has no explanation of organic origins manifesting from non-organic material, the fossil record lacks the necessary amount of fossils to act as evidence for evolution, 50 tons of cosmic dust fall on the earth daily yet not enough substantiate the claim of four and a half billion years of existence (the moon does not even substantiates this), and the origins of intelligence and irreducible complexity is not explainable by evolution; thus, evolution is believed in through faith (and evidence for that faith), the universe has to be less than 10,000 years old, and something infinite should have existed in order for finite things to exist.
