“Every living organism – including humans – is in a constant state of degradation or deterioration not evolution.”
Mixing apples and crescent wrenches. Evolution just means change. Not gooder or worser, that’s a judgment. Snails evolved shells and moved their organs to one side to be protected by those shells. Slugs were snails that evolved to lose those shells, but their critical organs are still grouped where snails have them.
“From the moment something comes to be, it already is dying and will eventually die.”
Individuals, yes. But the species may not be doomed. Look at crocodiles. Cockroaches. Coelacanths.
"Otherwise, it would divert all of its energy into overcoming said fate by ‘evolving’ out of it, exactly like X-Men’s Wolverine manages to do.”
Evolution is change that happens to a species, not an individual. And evolution doesn’t care what happens to the individual after it passes the age of child bearing/rearing.
"Why? Because the survival instinct is the most dominant one.”
Easily disproven by any individual that risks their life for the offspring. Survival of the species is more dominant than your ‘most dominant’ instinct.
"On the surface, X-Men may appear to favor the theory of evolution,”
Not if you now anything at all about evolutionary theory…
"but once pertinent questions are asked, that whole facade crumbles like a butterless cookie leaving but a handful of apologetics that work in favor of creationism.”
Well, fucking DUH! It’s fiction. You don’t go to experts on sequential storytelling for biology. Pointing out errors in comic book science is right up there with saying Alan Alda held his scalpel wrong on M*A*S*H.
"but, let’s just say that the X-Men are really in the process of being fully humans,”
You don’t read the X-Men, do you? They’re not humans. They’re EXPRESSLY not humans.
“2)…how come there are no evolutionary mutants running around for real?”
Bet you a hundred bucks if you get your and your parents DNA analyzed, you’ll find you have at least 30 mutations. Because that’s how evolution actually works.
