Sit quietly and try not to mutate.
"Theres no need to stop something thats not happening. does man have wings? didnt think so."
The trade off to having the ability to fly would be less weight and thus less muscle and brain mass. Since there was no evolutionary advantage for our closer ancestors to go this way, mutations that could have eventually led to flight were not passed on through the Homo Genus. Bats, however, did go this way. Good for them I say. :P
Having wings would be really cool, but that's not how it works.
I wonder about the evolutionary path of humans. Many of us live in such comfortable, artificial environments that traits that would have probably sent a person to an early death in earlier times (like poor eyesight) don't really keep us from surviving to mate anymore. It's kind of interesting to me; I'd like to hear what people smarter and more educated than myself have to say about it.
Yes, also strips, breasts, legs, and thighs. You get them at the supermarket.
Next question, please.
Humanity DOES have wings -- we just have them on airplanes, gliders, parasails, and so on. But we are not limited to walking and winging; we also can travel under the ocean to incredible depths, or even to the moon! Granted, natural wings do look awesome; but I'd say that as an evolutionary development, our intelligence wins out over mere wings any day.
silly fundies, evolution doesn't necessarily mean improvement, otherwise we'd evolve into super-heroes, which, admittedly would be sweeeeet, but it simply ain't happenin'.
Yes humans do have wings: airplanes. Because of evolution, humans were able to develop the intelligence to invent flying devices.
No need to stop progress.
"If evolution is wrong, then how can we stop it?"
That's easy, stop reproducing.
The OP is proof that for some humans, intelligence wasn't, apparently, enough of a beneficial trait for it to evolve. Fortunately for the ancestors of the rest of us, it was.
"If religion is wrong, then how can we stop it?
Fixed.
No, but we do have nasty MSRAs, DDT-resistant mosquitoes, penicillin-resistant gonorrhea, and other nasty shit like that. It would actually be nice if we could stop these from evolving.
If people had wings they'd require a six-foot breastbone to anchor all the muscle required to keep all that weight aloft. Plus they'd have to sacrifice hands and arms, and then how would you use the remote?
No, you're not going to "stop evolution". The mutations will finally get you, even if your fundy family tree is a straight line.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
