Evolution, mankind, animals, natural selection, makes no sense?

Here is a quick overview of how evolution works. It is not a proof of evolution, which would take more space than available in this forum:

Evolution is how changes occur in populations of existing life forms (not in individuals). It does not address the origin of life. The origin of life has many promising lines of study but no single one is complete and generally accepted by the scientific community.

---------------------------

The driving force behind evolution is genetic mutation. Mutations involved with evolution usually occur to genetic DNA during gamete production in sexual organisms or during cell division. They may also result from such things as trauma from chemical action or radiation.

A mutation almost always causes death to the mutated cell, usually very quickly. Only on a rare occasion does the mutated DNA survive and rarer still is it beneficial to the host. Some mutations that survive produce a change that is neither beneficial nor harmful (or are only slightly so), but the altered code continues to reside in the DNA to be passed to future generations. Because some of the changes that survive long enough to be passed to the next generation are beneficial ones, some people incorrectly assume that all mutations are good or will "improve" the species.

Although each mutation is random, natural selection is not. Individuals whose mutation yields an advantageous trait are more likely to reproduce, meaning that more individuals in the next generation could inherit these traits. While the changes produced in any single generation may be small, differences accumulate over generations and can cause substantial changes in the local population - they evolve.

When an isolated population of a species has accumulated enough changes that they can no longer produce viable offspring with the rest, by definition they have become another species. In large multicellular organisms, this normally takes a great many generations.

Each human has some DNA that is genetically different from the general population. Although most variations are internal and are not observed accept by specialists, you may know someone that has slightly misaligned toes, an ear shape that seems unusual or some other feature that is noticeably not in the general public. You may also notice when these traits are in several members of the same family. This is evolution in progress.

In smaller, more quickly reproducing life forms the changes permeate the local population rapidly. Bacteria produce several generations in a single day and provide excellent examples of evolution. One major problem with pesticides and antibiotics is that there are vast numbers of insects and bacteria. The few that are slightly more tolerant to the chemicals may survive and quickly reproduce to pass along their genetic tolerance.

I could copy paste information from the internet but i guess you could do that yourself sooooo i'm going to try and explain to you how it works.

First of all you have to know that living creatures are not perfect, they are no made by "intelligent design" there are many animals that have gotten extinct due to the way they evolved. An example would be the dodo, a bird that lost his physical ability to fly and couldn't survive the arrival of humans, dogs and monkeys. therefore, he went extinct... sadly.

When an organism reproduces, his offspring have mutations... what's this mutation? well, any change they have, Example: you are no exactly like your dad or mom, why? cause you mutated in a very low level. What happens if you have children and they have children, etc. in millions years? by that time there would have been lots of mutations. Do mutations happen so that animals can survive? NO IT DOES NOT. This is were natural selection comes in, those who mutated in a way that are able to survive... survive, and those who mutated in a way that can't survive... die. Penguins aren't like they are cause they chose to, they are just one of many mutations that occurred over millions of years.

Animals do not chose to evolve nor their body, there is no other connection other than natural selection. The body has no way to know how they should evolve, they just mutate and if they mutate in a way that helps them survive, then they have more probability to have children and so goes on...

In short:

all animals of the same species, including humans, differ physically from each other. Some have shorter legs than other their specimen, some have stronger hands, some have longer tails etc.

So if we have a bunch of penguins who can fly and some of them have structurally different wings that enable them to swim better, then those penguins have an advantage over others, they get more food, they have more offspring as they can feed more (thus less die) and they pass their genes that are responsible for advantageous physical differences to many others. Then those others again are able to get more food than efficient-at-flying penguins etc. and if among this offspring there are birds with wings that are even more efficient at swimming, they get even more advantage over the flying penguins and their own already advantaged parents. Thus with time (thousands of generations) those who adapt to the environment more efficiently are able to pass their genes to more offspring and as sources of food are limited, those less efficient die out sooner or later.

Before you come up with your own silly ''theories'', try actually listening in class.

The evolution theory is confusing because it does not exactly state how the species came about rather why they are how they are now. It is a theory and you can't count on it to be 100% true but i think it's their senses that helped them evolve.

Evolution would not functionality that way. Evolution basically cares approximately adaptive and maladaptive genetic characteristics. whether it is thoroughly impartial (like having a tail bone, or information enamel, or an apendix, and so on) then organic determination will probable do no longer something to "weed out" that trait.

God decides when an animal evolves! Why does he evolve them? He has his reasons I don’t know why. But not every story of evolution is correct a lot of it is made up... some animals evolve. But if you’re looking for proof scientifically based on objective science only, that god exist and controls everything go to this link:

Make sure to watch all three parts of the film!!! Very interesting enjoy!

they don't know how to do it, it just happens
