Organisms are the intelligent design behind evolution. It is our brains who changes our genes to adept to our enviroment. Not natural selection and random mutations. It's retarded to believe that the cause of such advanced evolution is just random. If the mutations were truly random and not decided by the brain, howcome animals and humans intelligently adept to their surroundings without getting extinct all the time?

I work in a public library, and hear more than my fair share of stupid shit, and have achieved a tolerance to it. I'd like to congratulate this person on actually making me go, "Fuck, you're a fucking moron."
And this is next to the street preachers who come in here.
Wow, using the 'LOL' acronym in your user name? Twice? And on YouTube? I don't think this is even a person, just some vaguely sentient fungus that coagulated on the underside of some reclucive's computer table.
Evolution does not need brains, the environment itself guides natural selection.
Brains can't even change genes anyway!
Damn, I wish I knew that. 'Cos if I concentrate really hard, I could change my genes and become a giraffe (come on, think!)
"Organisms are the intelligent design behind evolution."
Say what?
"It is our brains who changes our genes to adept to our enviroment. Not natural selection and random mutations."
Is that you Supersport?
"It's retarded to believe that the cause of such advanced evolution is just random."
Only creationist morons claim it's random. Everyone else is perfectly aware of what governs evolution.
"If the mutations were truly random and not decided by the brain, howcome animals and humans intelligently adept to their surroundings without getting extinct all the time?"
I haven't got a clue what the hell you're babbling about and I strongly suspect you don't either.
The ability to adapt to changes happening WITHIN ones lifetime has nothing to do with changes in inheritable traits, you reptillian poppinjay!
Sheesh, even Lamarck would admit that nowadays.
It is our brains who changes our genes to adept to our enviroment.
What you talk about is just Lamarckism, which was popular before the ToE (with the well known example of Giraffes stretching to reach leafs high above which [acording to Lamarcks hypothesis] leads to them and their offspring getting longer necks).
Well, biologists in the 19th century came to the conclusionthat the opposite of what you said is true. It is, that evolution is not goal oriented but can de factor better be explained with random mutation and survival of the fittest.
Which is the reason why, when Darwin published his Theory of Evolution 50 years later, it quickly and completely replaced Lamarckism ;)
FAILURE to understand the theory of evolution, intelligent design, natural selection, and mutations.
It is our brains who changes our genes to adept to our enviroment.
Here's a scientific experiment. Think "I want to be immune to poison ivy", and then go roll in the stuff to see if it worked.
It is our brains who changes our genes to adept to our enviroment.
Incorrect. If I could use my brain to change my genetic make up I would have lost 8 inches of height, 190 lbs of weight, grown breasts and a vagina and joined the local college sorority. Nice try though. Douche.

Any number of species have either undergone extinction, are on the verge of extinction, or are going extinct this very moment. It happens every single day. Your post and your screen name reveal you to be a drooling retard.
useless mutations die out or go unnoticed. Disadvantageous mutations die out (in a society that doesn't keep every living thing on medicine and life support) quickly and as such aren't passed on. Advantageous mutations are very likely to be passed on and as such become the norm for the speicies. Over time they build and species change into other species that either fill a new niche or more successfuly fill the one they are already in.
The brain has nothing to do with it as many very successful organisms don't even have a brain to begin with.
Natural selection answers your question absolutely perfectly, so much so that you could be a poe. Species go extinct all teh time. Less than 1% of the species this planet has hosted currently exist.
Yes, it is retarded to believe that it's just random . There's natural selection also, ya know, which is very far from random.
There's no intelligence behind it; those who manage to have offspring live on, those who don't die out.
It's a bit "retarded" to mix up adept and adapt...
You are not adept at English, and what kind of a username is that?
Animals and plants ARE getting extinct all the time, stupid! Something like 98% of all organisms that has ever lived are now extinct.
Yes, they went extinct "all the time", but not ALL of them. That's how evolution works; the losers die off and the winners, the lucky ones who are better adapted, continue to live. Not intelligence, just luck!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
