Wow there's a lot to digest here, thank you for the kind words.

I see intelligent design all around me that still brings me to my knees in a state of awe at the expression of the whole chain of life. Funny, I remember being told when I was a little kid that my tonsils could be removed because they don't serve any purpose, they are remnants of evolution, the same with the appendix. How about "junk" DNA. There may have been dramatic changes but I don't believe if they were that is was through natural selection.
Yeah the tonsil thing is weird. Mine were removed and I didn't even get ice cream, no I was given crisps to 'scrape the clots off'. I expect I had my tonsils for a reason, the NHS really liked to remove them. They're making it up as they go a long
"junk" DNA yes you have a point. "Junk" is one of our cultural words to use instead of the word "mystery"... something we don't understand.

Here is where I question Darwin's theory. Why are most humans created so they could not survive in their environment,(I realize there are very mild climates and this would not be true everywhere) just as they are. You could say we adapted by increasing our intellect but that still doesn't make sense. You see dramatic changes that animals have to their coats for example throughout the seasons. In the winter in cold climates their coats get thicker and there are probably so many adaptions I don't know about. They don't have to make a coat and get shoes or else they freeze. ( I realize there are exceptions) and particularly aberrations in weather could cause deaths.
Wouldn't we have naturally selected into a species that could live without having to make clothes and improves intellect? It doesn't fit with the way the rest of the life cycles are on the planet that I have observed for a long time now.
It makes no sense that we would evolve into creatures that are in many cases unprepared to deal with the natural world. We don't fit in properly with the rest of the planet in my assessment. We are a cancer to the cycle of life , we take more than we need and destroy even to our own detriment.Apparently many of us are willing to endanger our own offspring for non survival reasons (not everyone once again).That does not fit in with the rest of the world, at least not to my knowledge. It the species with the most desirable characteristics for survival are the ones that carry on, there's something amiss here. Because humanity is becoming wimpier (certainly not everywhere) and less able to adapt to the natural world, not the other way around.
We don't even seem to fit on this planet... blue eyes suck. And we have gone from the macho 1970's to gentrified urban values post-2000; everyone has soft hands. Everyone I know does, ok not all, but most do. Nerds. My hands are the same as the nerds. I'm a nerd. I'm retro learning from a suburban life back to old ways and traditions. It's slow going. My high tech life is too useful atm. But we are strange against other nature around us,... the nurturing time a human young needs is ridiculously long. The intrinsic behaviour of a squirrel or a bird... yes we don't have that. We have an affinity with square-edged engineering, discovering things, and then making a weapon out of them. We are REALLY good at this
And following leaders with obedience, we're really rather jolly good at that. A+ score, very well done humanity

I see the harmony and life cycles of animals and plants, the give and take and humans don't fit into that cyclic design. It tells me there is something up, but I don't think it is natural selection. I am just coming to understand the level and depth of the lies we have come to accept as fact, as our history. I haven't even skimmed the top, yet. I used to always talk about us coming to the grand finale of some big inversion event. I didn't see we our already in it. Have always been in it. I just couldn't deal with the level of evil that is out there. Our experience is the inversion. It doesn't mean we are all evil ,,, but our mettle is definitely being tested.
On the other hand , I think adaption is not given enough credit. Adaption is awesome and it can be quick when it needs to.
Some big inversion event is a frightening idea, it's crossed my mind. Suddenly there are desperate people with families to feed, and no experience or even pre-thought to the existential upset... a total desperate surprise. I'm sure we're utterly vulnerable to that. I'm sure there would be adaption like you say, but the future is unknown, it's really annoying.

Darwin could have been a wonderful and nice guy but all of us have been programmed to varied degrees.Everything good here is weaponized and manipulated for purposes of control. Darwins whole "theory" of evolution, which indicates that he didn't state it was a fact reminds me of how they took one of the CEOs of big pharma, I think it was Moderna stating that they "hope" their injection prevents transmission was turned into a vicious hate campaign and a belief that we are saving others by poisoning ourselves....

Well, I suppose he was the figure head in an assault against some social/political battle, and he is a cherished scientist ...which goes against him now you point that out. I liked that he tried to measure what he could, as much as a man or woman could do, ...but he is far too popular to be trusted using Lloyd Pie logic.
I like nature, I'm drawn to it, to get closer to the soil. Nature is my teacher and I love it. Except the cat that peed on my chimenea, I chased that little bastard off.

In my view, Intelligent Design is obvious. Who the designer is or was, I do not know.)
