AnonyNymous:

Maybe the english I used was too big. ok, look at this analogy:

There's somebody bullying you and you don't want to be bullied, so you go and learn karate and kung fu and become stronger until that person is not a threat to you anymore (evolution)

But nowadays, we have created a man-made fighting robot (technology) that helps us fight the bully. So instead of growing stronger, we remain in our current state while the robot does the fighting for us.



Why do some choose not to learn kung fu den?
And dey are still been bullied? grin

Yes & no. The natural selection that made us what we are today didn't happen in an instant. It involved a lot of little steps that added up to a great difference over thousands of years. We can observe the small steps of natural selection within our lifetimes, but we don't live long enough to be able to observe the dramatic changes that can result from lots and lots of small steps. So we have to rely on indirect evidence. As it happens, we have been able to get so much indirect evidence that supports evolution, that almost every scientist accepts it as a fact.

From the video above, here's a list of the types of evidence we have for evolution:
1) Comparative anatomy.
2) Embryology and development.
3) The fossil record.
4) DNA Comparison.
5) Species distribution.
6) Evolution observed.
7) Predictive power of evolution.
8} Nested hierarchies of traits.

All of the 'evidence' you posted presumes evolution. The theory suffers from ineffectual mechanisms, fanciful scenarios and lack of evidence so much so I wonder why any rational person will believe it.
