I appreciated your response until you had to end it with an insult. Oh well.
That wasn't an insult. It was a serious question. I don't actually think you are this dense. No one is. I am asking why you are intentionally being so.

There is nothing in the theory of evolution that would make any rational person expect that there would be no disease or mental illnesses.
For several reasons: One, we are biological organisms. So are most diseases. Those diseases evolve, too. Two, genetic mutations occur in every person. Most of those mutations will be deleterious. This is expected, even necessary for evolution to work. Third, there are environmental factors involved with many mental illnesses/retardation. A woman drinking alcohol while pregnant, premature birth, head trauma. Lastly, humans aren't as sexually selective about things like mental illness any longer. My girlfriend suffers from clinical depression. I would never even consider not having children with her for that reason. So the gene will survive in our potential children. There is not much negative selection pressure. (There still is some, but not a lot)
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
