Why does common sense and theory of evolution clash.
First thought is because common sense doesn’t rely on facts. So you hear a sound and know it exists and then see a picture of the whole ear and see that it connects to the brain and it is there and that is it. To be told that that the ear evolved and somehow connects to a brain though just doesn’t make sense to common sense.
This isn’t about trying to prove that evolution doesn’t exist. Quite ok with it if it does. That would be fascinating on it’s own. It’s mainly that the evidence for it doesn’t stand out in a in a google search. That’s the main point and maybe i have missed really good documentaries or images or lectures to show why all scientists say it has occurred. But looking at it all , it leaves more of a feeling that it’s just as easy to say that life knows in some peculiar way knows what it is doing , and doesn’t rely on any of the chances that accidental random mutations and natural selection would come up with.
The ear that is part of a body , one day didn’t exist and then it did. Just feels that life wouldn’t last more than one day using random mutations and natural selection. And all of the trees on earth would just fall down.
You’d think it would be there in an easy to see format. There are mostly artists drawings of animals from the fossil remains that have been found. But the online lectures and journals talk mostly about Charles Darwin’s life including his travels around the world. There are no mighty minds that know about life. You can read ten pages looking to find the actual evidence that Charles found to show that evolution exists , but mostly it will be about where he lived and what he had for dinner on the ship. The word evolution resounds out like one man has discovered something that explains the whole of life.
But if the finches that he found evolved their differently shaped beaks , then the evidence would or should be more paramount. But it is almost skimmed over.
That is because bird beaks exist. And we can’t get past that.
It just feels more of a story about how Charles Darwin gave the thought to people that animals evolve , and that humans are sort of one of the living animals today that evolved from another animal. That’s quite something to achieve.
The enormity of the proposition that humans evolved is quite something , but Charles Darwin is best known for instilling it in human thought ever since. Maybe not on his own though , there were others , like Alfred Russel Wallace who could have have come up with the idea of natural selection. But any reading on evolution is more about the characters that formulated the ideas of it. So any reading is mostly a history lesson about who said what , when we want to know how finch beaks are monumental to to sow that animals evolve.
You get past the scant evidence available in reading that finches beaks use natural selection and then there then follows supposedly concrete/smoking gun evidence of evolution that includes dinosaur fossils of archaeopteryx with feathers that evolved into birds, and a four legged land animal Pakicetus that evolved into the whale. And then to reading that a giraffe has a long nerve going down its long neck and back up to it’s voice box showing that it proves animals evolved because it shows evolution makes mistakes. And then there are some connections at the back of the human eyes that are faulty. Those last two supposedly show that evolution must be at play because things go wrong.
We have to bear in mind that those conjectures are made by individual people and there are not many of them. But there are enough of them to have their notions passed on , and often with little scrutiny because of their scientific status or popularity. I mean , who has the knowledge to say that the connections at the back of human eyes don’t have faults after being told that they do.
