Since average height has increased dramatically over the last couple of hundreds of years, will it continue to rise?
I know that at a certain height it becomes disadvantageous to be so tall because your organs can't cope, will evolution take use to just below this point? WIll women always be shorter than men on average? Will Asian average height eventually rival that of Europe?
I know no one knows for sure but some informed opinions would be great.

"Evolution isn't real. It's a theory. And not a very good one. Ask the people of Asia how tall they have grown. Not very much. Evolution has never been proved to be true. Nice try."
Of course it's a theory, nothing can be completely proven. But Many scientists accept it as fact, it is a very convincing theory. Can you explain why 'it's not a very good one'? What do you believe in, creationism? You stated that it 'isn't real', when really you don't know.
The Dutch have gone from being one of the shortest peoples in Europe to the tallest in the world in the space of 100 years, the fact that their height has changed dramatically is indisputable. My question still applies, even disregarding evolution. Please try to be constructive.
