How do you know that the advancements we have made are not a form of evolution? Take some microbe for example; lets say that some archaeon is doing well by itself or within its community when all the sudden it picks up the ability to ferment lactose (maybe through horizontal gene transfer (spreading of ideas...)). Should it not use its new found mechanisms for survival? The tools that humanity acquires to sustain itself should be used because it is just another gift of our intellect/ability to adapt to our environment
How would it ever naturally just pick up that ability all of a sudden. Mutations like that don't occur spontaneously and in the same manner I don't believe we were meant to change fundamental processes in ourselves so drastically except through evolution over time.
Question: Are you a creationist? I don't want to step on your beliefs so please let me know.
I believe that the big bang and evolution and everything of that nature was created by God, yes.
Who's to say though that we can judge what the best and most efficient change is?
Exactly. So why should we conclude we are they judges and mess with how we'd naturally progress?
