How did worms cross the world.
Wherever there is soil there are worms. One little dig in any garden will bring up some. How did they colonize all of the earth. They exist in any soil in any garden or field or hillside in any country. If one worm came about on it’s own millions of years ago it would then have had to crawl or wriggle through the soil over thousands of miles and move across the oceans. They don’t move very fast. There is of course all of those millions of years to do it. Some worms are thought to have been transported by ships but it happened millions of years ago so it’s quite likely that other animals would have eaten the worms that had eggs in them and deposited those worm eggs over large distances.

The earthworm was here 200 millions of years ago. It is still here, it has 5 hearts. Just seems that to think it evolved is just our thinking that it evolved. For something to actually evolve would have some sort of direction to be going in. If that direction included evolving 5 hearts that’s quite some evolving with nothing going wrong along the way. Not sure though if they had 5 hearts say 200 million years ago , and any google of the evolution of worms is all depicted with animation conjectures.
And of course the worm moves , and always has done. It can’t have evolved the ability to move. It either moves or it doesn’t.
But , did they really travel. Could they have sprouted up wherever soil exists rather than travelled around the world looking for soil. Don’t know , but worth a think about. Firstly we can’t ignore that the soil exists. We don’t theorise that soil evolved , much like we don’t theorise that oceans of water and planets evolved. We wouldn’t say that random mutations and natural selection led to either the soil or water or all the other physicality’s on planet earth or the stars seen in the night sky. They did come to their form over time , but they are a case of atoms coming together because of the forces acting on them like gravity. But that is different to the changing idea that evolution theory gives us about life.
We can in a similar way look at a field of grass and sort of understand that the grass sprouts up through the roots travelling further and further to make a whole field of grass. So now , wherever there is soil there are worms and grass. Worms and grass could have done that travelling , but there is no evidence to say that there was a one off worm or a one off blade of grass that started it all. So there is nothing to say that worms and grass pop up in soil without having travelled from anywhere. If they came about here or there on earth then they could could come about wherever they like if the soil was there. Of course it would have to be explained how a worm or blade of grass came to exist. But like the trees ability to carry a mass and weight and not fall down , the grass would have their abilities to not be scorched by the sun and to be able to continue growing despite being chewed all day by the sheep.
As for worms , they are hermaphrodites which means they have both male and female bits and pieces. They do though need a partner to make babies. And i can’t quite remember what , but for now they have to fancy each other and they certainly do. How. No idea. Certainly not through random mutations and natural selection. Rather than conjecture that a worm evolved it would be best to ask how do worms fancy each other and take it from there. Then there are the trees and flowers that pollinate each other to make seeds to make more of themselves. It’s a bit different to fancying but evolution theories don’t explain that either.
If we imagine that worms have evolved then we must also imagine that they are still evolving. Given the shear abundance of them today , then the rate of evolution occurring in the worms should be seen to be happening every day. If say one or two worms evolved in Africa millions of years ago and they have made their way around the world to exist anywhere with soil , it would mean that now out of the gazillions of them , the chance for evolving to occur has gone from the initial one or two of those worms to the gazillions of them.
Same i suppose could be said about any other animal including humans. The number of humans over recent years has increased to 8 billion from 1 billion 200 years ago , and evolution theory , that says random mutation cause changes in any animal body , would seem to suggest that we should soon see a spectacular rise in all sorts of human body evolution. Soon though isn’t easy to predict as evolution is said to occur over thousands or millions of years , but evolution had only a few humans to act on in earlier days. So since the population growth of humans is relatively recent then we’d have to see in say another million years what happens.
Having said that though , there are 8 billion humans today that should have random mutations occurring that show some sort of change. The initial pool of humans and other animals on which evolution could act was once so much smaller , so evolution today should be occurring say 1 million times as fast as it initially did and we’d surely see it happening. In fact , by going on numbers of possible random mutations that could occur in the whole animal population today we’d kind of expect new or evolving animals emerging on a daily basis , but we don’t see it happening..
Sticking with just the worms , they should be popping out from the soil as completely new animals with legs or feathers or something completely new all the time. But they don’t. Maybe it’s a choice and they just like it underground.
The one thought that we do have about animals evolving is the fishes fins turning into legs to walk on the land. Those kind of conjectures were formulated many years ago by only a hand full of people and with no evidence at all. But the thought of it is probably engrained in most of us , even if we don’t think about it.
Next chapter, the face. Think this was said earlier so will delete later. We could look at a face and all that is on it. We could think for one moment that a nose that breathes in and out air and smells has evolved. But since a nose can do what it does it would surely not rely on random mutations and natural selection to evolve. Then there are eight million species of animal faces with many similar features like noses made of similar material that no evolutionary thought could explain. We couldn’t go back to see a face or fancying or pollination evolving. The nose if we consider it , is likely not there because it evolved. It is there to breath air. The nose would have had to start off by not being able to breath the air even though it sort of knows that the air exists before it begins to evolve into a nose. So it has the stupendous knowledge that the air exists and knows the chemical constituents of the air and yet it needs to evolve. You’d think it if it knows all that then it would become a nose in one go. Makes no sense.
The success of all of all these phenomenas can not be put down to our conjectures of evolution using random mutations and natural selection.
