You seem to be going with 'if we evolved, we'd be better than if we were created'. Doesn't sound very sound to me.I don't and I'm not sure why you thought I stated that. What I tried to say was why would evolution leave out of man what it put into all other species if evolution were true.

Because that's now how evolution works, GC. If I misunderstood it as badly as you do, I probably wouldn't believe it either. Evolution is not miraculous. It does not bend towards some ideal state. Natural selection eliminates individuals who aren't adapted well enough to their environment from the gene pool. It has no vision for the future, it may let a more specialized species out compete a more generally adaptable one and when only the more specialized species is left, it may die out due to change in the environment, and both species are gone. We're adapted to our environment as it is now and if the environment changes and too many of us can't adapt, we'll die off. That's all natural selection promises. Every biological feature has a cost, they take energy, and if they don't increase the chance of reproductive success, they're gradually lost, like cave fish losing their vision. We don't have a Swiss Army knife of special adaptations because we don't really need them, do we? We get things done with hands, ingenuity and social cooperation, and that's been enough for us to dominate the planet.
