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.

Mutations like that actually do occur spontaneously. What difference does it make if the change is conscious or not? We should be able to make better and more efficient changes consciously.

Who's to say though that we can judge what the best and most efficient change is?

Who's to say that we can judge what our, or anything else's, purpose is?

Exactly. So why should we conclude we are they judges and mess with how we'd naturally progress?

Yea, I guess what you're saying really relies on the belief that some sort of judge and ultimate purpose actually exists, and since I don't have that belief we will always disagree.
