Question by imrh<\/i>: Is there such a thing as human evolution anymore?<\/strong><\/p>\n

From my understanding of evolution, it is a product of natural selection and not a predetermined clockwork sort of progress (as in, it’s not like we have something in our genetic makeup that says we’ll just suddenly have bigger brains and no toes in a thousand years). I’m asking if there is such thing a selection anymore? We have basically entered an age where most anyone can find anyone to procreate with and the natural aspects (survival, the ability to provide food, the ability to nominally protect your young, etc..) have been eliminated. I’m not some facist, just someone interested in biology and would like to hear some thoughts. The toes reference before was a starter because I’ve heard that a couple times (as in it would make sense for them to fuse as they serve no purpose) even though I can’t see a situation where certain humans will be sexually selected for having fused toes? Understand? If you do, I would love to hear your thoughts. I guess disease is really it.<\/p>\n

Answer by I know nuttin<\/i>
I believe that evolution is God’s way of letting His\/Her creations sort out their own flaws. He\/She may have created us in His\/Her own image, but with the knowledge that we were flawed and would always be.<\/p>\n

That said, our flaws would always require refinement and improvement. So, God created a chaotic, self-balancing system such that favorable traits would be reinforced, while unfavorable traits would be weeded out. Hence, evolution.<\/p>\n

So, natural selection, to me, does not imply the lack of conscious design. God may have set in motion the original design, and let it unfold from there on its own.<\/p>\n

So yes, there still is human evolution and there always will be unless our entire species is selected out (a possibility which God saw fit to allow to happen).<\/p>\n
