Agreed. But that is my problem with people’s over-excitement about evolution. It only explains what is going on in our small system.
It does not pretend to explain anything beyond this does it ?
However, it says nothing about the real question of life and WHY it exists in the way it does in the first place.
It makes sense that evolution evolved as life that could not change to adapt to its environment would die out, so it makes sense that evolution is selected for in the first place. So it makes sense that if we didn’t have evolution life possible would not have lasted very long.
To suggest that we have solved the whole mystery of life by seeing how it has grown and changed into myriad forms over millions of years is incredibly arrogant and blinkered.
Again it does not claim to solve the complete mystery, it gives the mechanism but not the details of what selecting forces shaped life as we know it.
Do you think what you have said so far challenges the theory of evolution in any tangible way ? (trying to open debate not insult you by the way)
