Conclusions. All conjectures of course. Page 1 of 7

A glaringly missing discussion on any aspect of the evolution idea misses out how body parts came to to be in their present state. Any discussion is always about whether animals evolved or they didn’t. Any discussion today would be best phrased as to how did evolution lead to the body parts if they evolved , or how do the body parts exist if they didn’t evolve.
It just seems that focusing on a whole animal in the fossil record has gotten nowhere. The fossils show only that there have been whole animals with whole body parts.
Just seems that body parts could be considered just a bit too specific to have evolved into what they are from nothing. If they did evolve , it would almost mean that they evolved with a kind of certainty to eventually be the body parts that they are. Quite clearly , there is no evidence available to show that any body part came to be because they evolved , and likewise there is no evidence for the occurrence of them through any sort of other method. But the word evolution seems to be set like concrete in anyone’s psychic to be fact.

So we might try asking questions to help with how we think about it.
We could firstly ask , does evolution have anything to do with the existence of any body part. We might answer with words and say that a heart or a big toe on the foot evolved , but it is harder to say that the actual exitance of them evolved. So we could say that they did evolve , but wouldn’t say that the existence of them evolved.

In the same vein of thought we could ask if evolution has anything to do with the existence of a male and female. That is a very strange dual setup to have come about because of any kind of evolution. It would mean that evolution itself provides the means by which to have babies. That clearly can’t be the case.
The only other way would be that babies can somehow be made and then after that , the evolution gets going. But that makes no sense and there is no way around it , babies and body parts can come about in the first place , even before the first baby and body parts existed. As for the babies then growing into men and women , that whole progression of say eighty years lifespan has to develop all sorts of body parts and chemicals , and all of that too could exist before even the first babies turn into adults.
The evolution idea is that all body parts and the male female duality evolved , and that chemicals like hormones evolved in the males and females to somehow come about in teenage years. How would hormones evolve at all , and how would they just come about at a specified time. Again though , the question would be about their existence.
The answer has to be that evolution has nothing to do with the existence of anything.

Again , it’s not about how wonderful or not that these things are , it’s just that there is absolutely no evidence at all that anything evolved.
Ultimately we’d have to ask , does the life thing , whatever we think it is , exist because it evolved. Clearly not. We say that an animal is living but we wouldn’t say that the alive thing in the living thing evolved.
It’s more about words of course , but we do say that an animal is alive , and also say at the same time that the animal evolved. We don’t though say that the alive part in the animal evolved. We could construe that the alive part evolves as the animal body evolves , but our thought of the word alive is singular.

Imagine the surprise of the first animal that was able to move. There must have been that moment. Would the movement itself have to have evolved. You couldn’t have a tiny bit of movement that got better and better. To be able to move is a whole thing , no matter how tiny the movement is , so the ability to move means that movement is a thing like being alive and also isn’t something that could be considered to have evolved.

So why would life need to scramble about in an environment to adapt legs and arms and claws and teeth when it can become life to start with. In fact , no animal at all scrambles about.
We could take any body part and try to imagine that it used our evolution idea of random mutations and natural selection to be , but it just seems that there is no way that any body part can be or become what they are using our evolution theory without in a way knowing about the physical properties of the environment in which they somehow happen to occur in , like air and water and gravity.

The evolution idea creates the idea that all body parts have a sort of side line that helps them be and progress to be what they are. We can try and think that there is something inert in the body parts that lets them evolve through time , but if we think that ears are ears , and eyes are eyes , and toe nails are toe nails , then there is nothing to go on other than they just exist.

The evolution idea on the other hand does treat us to an activity of finding and categorizing and documenting , and we love doing that. Take finding and putting fossils in some sort of order. We can physically do that. But it doesn’t aid us with understanding the actual existence of the toe nail that sits on a toe or the nose that sits on a face.
Don’t know if toe nails existed 500 million years ago but eyes did and any animal that had them could move them. It would leave at least the thought that eyes are a sort of something that exist and are whole entities. It just doesn’t seem that it would be possible to go backwards to find a non eye that evolved into an eye , unless the non eye was always going to evolve into an eye. But why would an eye that was always going to exist , rely on evolution to become an eye. Just seems that eyes that can be moved were always going to be eyes , however they came to be.

There are of course all the other body parts and organs that would have had to evolve at the same time as each other. Take the human women’s womb that a baby grows in. We wouldn’t say that it had to evolve to be what it is to hold a baby. It seems in a way to be a given , or is , or was determined to be. Then there is the puzzlement of how there are two ears , or two of eyes , or two legs , or two arms or two lungs in a human body and whole systems in a body like eating and toileting. We say that they evolved, but that thought in our thinking is there only because of conjecture , a conjecture laid out by a handful of enthusiastic fossil hunters.

It all seems silly to even mention the above , but when we are imagining that animals evolved , we might still have in our thinking from past thinking that the expression ‘survival of the fittest’ is relevant to the thinking about it. Does that thought still sit in the many many minds of us all today or is that old thinking . Not sure. But we know with thinking that that idea doesn’t explain the existence of the physicality of bodies and how any of them move. There has to be the existence of them in the first place for them to be the fittest.

It’s not just animals of course , we’d also have to wonder why a plant that can produce a fruit with seeds in it , would rely on fitness to survive after it came about. Of course fitness might exist in some slight way , but pretty much all apple trees are successful , and like they say to artists and musicians ‘there is plenty of success to go around.’ So to be an apple tree takes a bit more than being the fittest to simply exist, and it’s just as striking as there being a man and a woman. Just seems that fittest has nothing to with eithers initial or later success.

So on today’s thinking , surely a nose does not sit on a face because it evolved.
Like all the other features on a face , they seem like specific things. There is something quite unexplainable about the existence of any body part like say the nose. We try to put it’s existence in terms of millions of years and DNA and genes , but a nose is a nose and it doesn’t mean that a nose that works in tandem with the mouth to breathe in and out air has relied on any of the past for it to exist today. The past , that consists of millions of years , isn’t necessarily pivotal for the noses that exist today.
If time was important to a nose , it would mean that noses couldn’t occur today unless they had occurred in the past , and that would have to be the same for anything else that exists. Having said that , it sort of leaves us to wonder how would or could a nose come about today if had not existed in the past. That is a problem , as it would mean that every form of anything that exists today must have something to do with the past , and if everything relied on the past , that would mean that nothing new could occur in the future. That could be said to be the case , as new forms of life and body parts don’t seem to pop up in new forms on a daily basis.
That is a puzzle laid bare and it’s hard to understate it. Despite everything around us , nothing out of the ordinary seems to occur.

Perhaps nothing new will occur and everything that could occur has occurred. Take our feet with toes on them and what they do. We might imagine that they will evolve to walk in future environments , but that doesn’t seem or feel likely. Evolution , however it works , would have to work out how to evolve the feet and toes now that they are mostly inside a pair of socks and shoes. If they do evolve , then evolution would have to in some way know about the environment outside of the socks and shoes and all other clothing. Of course this kind of thinking could go on and on , but it’s hard to think that a hat on the head is going to lead to a human loosing it’s head hair and the protection of eyebrows or eye lashes around the eyes.

We could try thinking that a nose or any other part that is somehow growing on a baby today , might not be coming about for any other reason than today exists. We don’t even know what today is. There have been billions of todays. In a way the nose can just use today , whatever today is , to exist.
Of course though , our today is just our splitting of time and it can also be just this second. But there are generations of babies being born and their babies have noses , but like the today or this second , it might not mean that noses rely on their past generation to be a nose , even though it might. We just don’t know.

Using the word evolution is a problem for our thinking , making us think that noses are some sort of ongoing thing that started 500 million years ago and that they use genes and genomes and DNA and the environment and all sorts of things to exist. To think that the nose and all the other parts on a face evolved might not be necessary. They do exist but again we just don’t know how.
But it feels obvious that noses and ears and eyes don’t sit embedded alongside the other features on a face of a head because of our evolution idea of random mutation and natural selection.

And then , other body parts like hands with fingers that sit at the end of a pair of arms on an animal are there , but none of them can be thought of as if they are products of evolution. There are also those those bits and pieces that differ on males and females that make babies. Surely they don’t exist in the way that they do because they evolved. Take any animal like say a butterfly. There is a male butterfly and a female butterfly with different bits and pieces that make baby butterflies. Their bits and pieces are a bit different to the human bits and pieces , and any kind of thinking would stop short of saying that they exist because they evolved. There is no way around it , somehow the word evolution has got mixed up with the existence of body parts and whole animals and whole plants. More likely is that body parts are features of animals that just occur as whole entities.

It would of course go on. Where does a set of teeth come from. It’s as simple as that. The teeth today , like noses and male and female bits and pieces might never have relied on the past. They might come about today because they can come to be today. You simply can’t have those male and female bits and pieces and noses and toe nails or teeth relying on evolution to bring them to be , so why would the past be needed to account for them.

Our conjecture of evolution also does not help explain plants and flowers or eggs and fruits with seeds. We’ve no idea about how they exist , but we do say that evolution has something to do with them. Using the word evolution is possibly the most misleading word ever. Whole animals and body parts and plants existed half a billion ears ago including their compositions of fluids. Why would any physical inanimate structures like blood and noses and fruits need any help from our evolution ideas.

The inclusion of the word evolution takes away the reality of why a nose is on a face and why a tree is able to grow roots to support itself. We say that the tree and the nose evolved , but even if a tree or a nose and their existence evolved , we would still be left with wondering about what the evolving thing that is involved with evolving the tree and the noses actually is. That would be the same for the toe nail on the end of a toe and the ability of any animal like a squirrel to do what it can do. Evolution theory is a very odd idea. It certainly seems to be just be an invention made by a few scientists and passed on as a real thing without any evidence.
Then there are animal abilities. A squirrel that exists in it’s present form to do what it does and fancy another squirrel is said to have evolved the abilities that it has. There is absolutely no fossil evidence of that. Absolutely none.

The one that really makes us scratch our heads though , is how our evolution idea makes males that are males and females that are females. It surely can’t be said that they evolved their differences. A male has bits and a female has bits. There is no evidence at all to show that that difference evolved or used evolution. Clearly , that difference tells us that an evolution process doesn’t do that.
It’s like saying that the measure of some substance is involved with the actual existence of the substance. The milk in a pint of milk is milk. The milk in a gallon of milk is still milk. Adding a measure doesn’t change anything , but adding a sort of measure like evolution gives our thoughts a very hard time. It’s the same as knowing that a distance between two points exists , but it doesn’t mean that the distance between the two points has anything to do with the actual distance between the two points.

The male and female have no construct of measures to make them be what they are. To say that a male and female evolved at the same time makes the whole thought exponentially difficult to think about. Simply put , there is surely no way that the duality of a male and female somehow exist and then they continue to evolve using random mutations and natural selection. The male and female would have to exist first. The existence of male and female bits and pieces that have to work together surely don’t come about because of our evolving idea. How , we just don’t know.

Much more likely is that those male and female bits and pieces are available to be used , like eyes and ears , just different configurations. That’s still conjecture of course , but just those two different sets of bits and pieces of male and female body parts had to have come about somehow , and importantly , at the same time as each other. The phenomena of that duality and then the physicality of them must be a simple occurrence that requires no reliance on our invention of random mutations and natural selection. It must be simple because it would not otherwise occur , and could be going on all over the universe. It seems bizarre to think of it all as simple , but it must be simple. And in a more simpler sense , those bits and pieces are unimaginable to imagine about before they existed. Our thoughts of phenomena might help , more later , but only a bit.
Living and finding food and surviving in the body on the other hand does not seem so simple. But whatever is going on , the future animals could be ready ahead of us as we have a think about it , and quite possibly , will just come about as whole animals to live here not relying on the past. That though is difficult to comprehend , because we are thinking that all animals exist today because they all started in the past.
We might ask though , to add to the other questions , why wouldn’t new life start today or why can’t it start today. But perhaps it does , but only now and then.

In the main though , any new animals in the future wouldn’t have to use our conjecture of evolution to become what they are. If they come to exist on earth that’s something that they can somehow easily do. They could use the available body parts or simply make them. It’s hard to think that since all these body parts already exist that they would need evolution to do it all again. Hard to imagine that say if all of life was wiped out by an asteroid , that life would have to start again by using random mutations and natural selection to come up with arms and legs and eyes when it’s all been done before. If so , how would it know how to start again using that method , to eventually come up with a man and a woman. No idea.
