Now how could human senses evolve so perfectly, we humans are so perfectly made...even most animals and insects and plants ..they each have remarkable characteristics...how could they possibly learn such amazing traits through evolution.
SELECTION v EVOLUTION
Selective breeding to enhance certain characteristics has long been common farming practice. Darwin pointed to artificial breeding such as this in his book 'On the origin of the Species'. He saw it(as many do today) as showing that selection can give uphill improvement, which could eventually lead to totally new creatures. However, he was unaware that enhancing one's characteristics through natural selection is likely to be at the expense of others. This is logical, since selection creates no new information, it only 'chooses' from what is there. As a variety becomes more specialized through natural delection, it loses some of the genetic richness of it's ancestors. This is now recognized by world agricultural authorities, who are scrambling to preserve the ancestral 'wild types' of our food crop.
Losing information is the opposite of what needs to occur to turn microbes into man.
