Is evolution very logic?

Okay so i started to think... Evolution is suppose to be inherited characteristics passed down from 1 generation to the next. I guess like a genetic mutations that evolved. Well I am not seeing anyone getting better if anything the genetic mutations are pretty much bad... for example: Down Syndrome.. brachydactyly(which is an inherited disease).. alzheimer's... (ASD) (also known as.. Autism.).. So really tell me 1 inherited characteristic that is healthy.. I am open minded to ANYTHING.

You have a good idea, but think bigger.



As a discreet example. Sicle cell amenia. Which in normal circumstances is very bad. In the case where it is most prominent, which is a part of Africa with dense jungles right beside arid landscapes. Which means a ton of mosquitoes. Which means malaria is a huge problem. but not for those with sicle cell anemia, which changes the blood cell shape so that less blood gets to your organs and muscles and everything, which also inhibits malaria.



Now for the big examples. Do you have legs? Thanks evolution. Do we have arms? Thanks evolution. Do your joints bend respectably far? Thanks evolution.



Evolution works on tiny improvements that amass to make a big huge change overall, and not all of a sudden either. Evolution takes hundreds of thousands of years. For example, maybe long ago humans couldn't bend their knees very far, which means they can't run as fast. So the people that could run faster to get away from predators and hunt food would pass on their genes for better bending knees, and little by little we got better at it until we can touch our heels to our butts.



That is how evolution works.

Well, can it be proven as fact? Are there any other variables that exist that could make it false? THERE YOU GO!!!



Is it logical? Not really. It's mostly hearsay, and an unproven hypothesis. Could it be true? Well, maybe some things do evolve and some do not. I am not saying that it is true, or false. I'm saying that it isn't logical because it is more assumption than anything else.



I hear some dumb people say "Evolution is fact." It is not fact at all. It has yet to be proven.

more accurately passed down through many generations.

our genes have many genes that are not 'turned on'.

and those ' pretty much bad' things make the creationists' god look bad, not the science of evolution

Yes, but in the long term, those things are weeded out, since they discourage reproduction. The beneficial mutations are in the extreme minority, but they're the only ones which get widely passed on.



You can actually observe evolution happening at a microbial level.

Humans as a hole are taller than they were say 8-10k years ago....



And there are other slight mutations you just dont know about that are positive. For example, some people have invisible mutations like a stronger immunity to certain illnesses or their muscles are capable of growing larger than the norm....

Please consider the biological ideas of evolution which are distinct from the philosophical idea of progressive change which you seem to be discussing. Progressive change is a philosophical idea that has lost the scientific character of what science calls evolution.



Progressive change is a very poor description of evolution. It is adopted by many because they cannot intellectually abandon the idea that humanity is the superior form of life.

If there is a god, why are Jewish babies born with foreskins?



As for evolution being 'logical', I think you use the wrong term, there is mountings of evidence to support it, so it is rational. Logic is the maths of sentence.

If it isn't then print up your own dim witted scientific thesis and let it be challenged by the educated people!!! You do have one don't you???

Modern medicine has changed the path of survival of the fittest mechanisms but this is of course part of our evolution as well.

No way those silly atheists can't follow simple logic. I mean if evolution is true why are there still monkeys!!

You have touched on the subject of genetic entropy.



Each human generation has dozens of mutations more than their parents. While many of these are "neutral" by themselves they contribute to the long term deterioration of our genome. The number of harmful mutations is much higher than favourable ones. The evidence so far is that the harmful near neutral mutations overwhelm the rare favourable one.

So logic, very evolvings

"No one can give me a straight answer therefore my hypothesis is correct."

That's a non sequitur, and you didn't propose any hypothesis.

Just saying.

Evolution not very logic. Mister Jesus love you. Evolution prove Mister Jesus not true. So evolution not true.

guys who watch anime sometimes inherit working reproductive organs

Evolution is not true science, (Observable, and Testable Results), it is as much a matter of faith as religions are. it dose disservice to logic, You need to have more than one pair of reproducing organisms that produce a male and a female part to have a new speicies.
