Evolutionary "theory" makes absolutely zero fucking sense. The whole thing is predicated on "incremental adaptations" but the "increments" are completely improbable because most of the time there is no intermediate form that confers survival advantage. Oh yeah bro just accidentally mutate the genes for some 5000 peptide long enzyme that just happens to exist as part of a dynamic intracellular system that makes everything fucking magically work.

"well maybe there was a 4999 long version that did the job almost as well, and before that a 4998 long version that did it slightly less well again" just lol.

Anyone who has thought about this for more than about 5 seconds knows that you don't get a cell out of purposeless chemistry in 100 million years. Maybe 10^10^10^10 years. The only reason anyone believes this obviously ridiculous idea is that they literally cannot conceive of it even in principle happening in any other way, not because the probabilities involved make any sense. If you think otherwise you have zero intuition for numbers.
