To him, evolution is some kind of spirit that runs around arranging things. It also bears mention, that his idea of defending his circular reasoning is whining about evolution.
I recognize evolution for what it really is; a process that preserves downhill change in animals. You claim it can do magic things that it has never been observed to do. I am not the one who brought evolution up anyways.
Given your worldview, why should people not use circular arguments? This should be fun.

You are either lying, remember incorrectly, or your Professor was an idiot.
He was a staunch Darwinist and Atheist so it is probably the third option.
You never answered my question though, how do you know that is why people live in groups and some animals do not? Did anyone observe these things to happen? Why do some people not live in groups then? Is it because evolution favored these people at the same time it was favoring the people who lived in groups? Sounds like your theory is far too flexible.
