But what of our behaviours. The evolution idea of fish moving onto land by growing legs and feet from their fins would suggest that the fishes own behaviour of swimming closer to the shore line with shallower water has something to do with their evolution. That is that they flapped and waddled their way onto land.

There is no evidence of this of course , but it was sort of expected in earlier evolution thought that for example that human manual labourers would get to pass on bigger and stronger muscles to their children , and that doesn’t happen.
But what would happen today for example to musicians that practice for eight hours a day on an instrument like the piano or the guitar or the violin. There are of course lots of instruments in music and lots of other types of instruments in other fields like say carpentry or plumbing.
But would evolution cope in the same way by relying on random mutations and natural selection in the future to take into account those behaviours.
What will happen next and does using our fingers to use instruments influence the future of the hand and fingers. It would be difficult to predict as we’d have to understand firstly why the hand and fingers are with our measurements just a few inches in length. That is a very short length compared to to the scale of the universe. Clearly that’s dictated in some way by gravity and the fact that hands and fingers couldn’t be bigger than the earth , like trees can only get to certain heights.

But would evolution react and modify or change the human hand and fingers because of how we use them. We could suppose it’s a bit like imagining that the eyes will evolve differently today because they see different things , like the inside of a house rather than the inside of a cave. That might not be very good comparison , as eyes see different shapes and colours and so prehistoric man would see say a car today as a car.

Just few thoughts thoughts on the evolution idea.
Does nature have to work at what it does.
Does it say have to work to make moving a body use the least energy.
Does it know that an eye has to be a certain size to sit in a skull and not be too big.
Does the evolution idea still exist ? It does.
But is there behind the idea that the physicality’s of a body and it’s senses , including thought and memory , any evidence to show that an evolutionary process brings it all about. That’s very different. Take anything , like an organ and try to explain how it evolved. It’s just not possible to do.
What’s odd about it all is that the us in us has only a limited control. We don’t have anything to do with the existence of our eyes or noses or our fingers.

No idea. But could it be that there is the phenomena of anything that existed that no longer exists. That is , say something did once exist like the dinosaurs , is there a fact or phenomena of them that still exists since they did once exist. They did exist and now they don’t. Does the fact that they existed , exist in a separate way even though they are gone. That is , say that the whole universe was gone tomorrow , would the fact that the universe once existed still exist as a fact. That is , if the universe did exist and now it doesn’t , would it exist as a fact that the universe did exist even if it now doesn’t exist. If the fact could not exist in the future then nothing at all that exists today exists. But that makes no sense.

And is life a serious thing. Does it really matter and is it really worth trying to puzzle about. Obviously no animal or flower has any say in what happens to them or how they came to be and that includes us. But is any of it important. That is , does life exist because it is really serious that it should exist. That is , trees and plants and all animals could be thought of as necessary , but we don’t know why or what they would be necessary for.

No idea.
The end.
