Well time for another useless rant about how evolution is way closer to correct than religion. Standard reminder: If you are religious and offended by this stop reading now! Moving on.
A commun argument I have come acrosse during my many debates in support of evolution is if evolution is true why aren't humans evolving? The truth; they are. It's called birth deffects, something doctors are trying to correct. Reinforcing something I said in an earlier post, health care is killing evolution. This, however, is not the point of this post. As I said humans are still evolving, people are just thinking to short term.
In general, humans are short sighted. They think they will see changes in their lifetime. Wake up already! There's a reason why the dinosaurs died and mammals evolved millions and not hundreds of years ago. Evolution takes time. Evolution is where small adaptations or mutations give a particular animal certain advantages over others of it's species or natural competition. These advantages make it more likely to reproduce and pass the advantage off to it's offspring. Then another mutation occurs and so on and so forth. These things happen over hundreds of generations not years. Ok fine, I admit that some animal generations are measured in years but let's bring the topic back to humans.
Have you noticed that more and more kids are growing taller than their parents? Evolution. More and more babies are being born prematurely. Evolution (though not for the better, read medicine is killing evolution). Younger generations are handling technology with more and more ease. Evolution (I think). You get the point. Evolution is a continuing force that did NOT die off when we humans came around. Get used to it. We are not the perfect species. Far from it. Evolution is trying to make us as a species stronger. We are not helping. Evolution is very much alive. End of story.
