How Nature was able to understand what we need.

RE: How Nature was able to understand what we need.
I think something that gets missed in most discussions with evolution deniers is the vastness of the genetic pool. It seems as though their thinking is linear through a single string of "evolution". The thing is, there are many millions, no, really, billions of organisms, with all kinds of variation. How many organisms have a mutation that helps? Hard to say, but it likely takes a lot of organisms mutating (because many of them may die or be eaten before reproducing) before that mutation actually propagates in the species.

We don't know that "Nature" is sentient; the evidence says otherwise. What "we" "need" is to survive; that is ALL. Many species die out all the time. What about their "needs"? They got aced out of the gene pool. How did Nature "understand their needs"?

Another, though slightly off topic, is the claim that mankind hasn't seen one species evolve into another. Given that the current population of the world is the end result of millions/billions of years of evolution, what else would one expect? Most of what exists is already the "end" product.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
