To Joe Smith. It is a video to make one think. All of us alive today have been about several billlion years in the making. Best bet about 13.7 billion years.
Even though the mechanism of evolution is random mutations, the real driving force is the survivability of the organism with any emerging mutation and the ability to produce viable offspring.
If Dawkins thinks that the ignorati who question evolution are wrong he has a very good reason. They are so ignorant of the science which makes their questioning sound like the simplistic claptrap it is.
This mechanism is totally blind to any underlying direction. If the Earth or any similar planet started all over again you would get a totally different outcome.
It is a complete fallacy to say we are the pinnacle of evolution. We are not.
We just happen to be smart apes that are ruining our planet with our 'success' at plundering natural resources at over twice the rate of their renewal.
The laws of the Universe are immutable. We defy them at our own peril.
