The more I study evolution, the more confused I am. What causes it? A Triceratops evolves from protoceratops, getting facial horns and the neck shield curls forward to allow better head movement so it can fight. Ok, why didn't the protoceratops grow wings to fly away? Because it was too heavy and wings large enough would have been awkward and the amount of energy needed to power its flight would have been enormous. So, that would have been a poor adaptation. Why don't creatures grow scales instead of fur when it gets colder? Another poor adaptation. But what knew that? Some instinct in the creature's mind that knew how to alter the DNA of the offspring? I cannot fathom how evolution works without some kind of governing intelligance that is capable of factoring data of the enviroment and causing changes best suited to deal with the new enviroment. I'm not bringing this up to disprove evolutionists, I'm just wondering what the answer is.
