Why is evolution hiding?

[Darkstar]

Whoa, fast thread.

As I said, when I see human beings with computers, vehicles, planes, spaceships, satellites, microscopes, microwaves, credit cards, pharmacies, fast food resturants, towers, and gorillas cannot even compete with a fraction of what the most indigenous humans accomplished and gorillas don't grow in wisdom and ingenuity. they stay the same century after century after century.

Humans aren't evolving these technologies (or rather, the ability to create them) in a biological sense. Humans build on the work of past generations (the old "standing on the shoulders of giants"); if all technology were suddenly wiped out, along with any instructions on how to rebuild it, we would go back to the stone age, despite not being genetically altered or having any less raw brain-power. I have no idea where the threshold on brain-power is for a species to begin technological and cultural evolution, but apparently humans surpassed it at some point, and other primates have not evolved in that way. One more thing to note is that evolution does not have a goal; if apes can survive relatively well as they are, they will be less likely to evolve greater intellect than if said intellect is the greatest factor in keeping them alive.

Shouldn't we still have half reptile/half mammal?

That depends on what you mean by 'half'. When some people look for transitional species, they look for half one thing and half another, like the infamous crocoduck:
(In case it wasn't obvious, crocoduck isn't real)

When a transitional species is found, it isn't half and half in the respect that you can cut it down the middle, but rather that all (or at least most) traits are somewhere in between the two species.
