Not every trait of organisms have a direct evolutionary advantage of better adaption to the environment. Sometimes it's just a byproduct. For example, hominds who ran upright, ran more efficiently with larger butt muscles (yes, that's right, our huge butt muscles are mainly for running, not walking or climbing). Larger butt muscles will then have prominent "butt cheeks". I'm not going to get into the female clitoris, I'll leave that as an exercise for you to work out. Both the "really long paradise bird feathers" and "colors of exotic fish" are consequences of sexual selection, which in turn is related to the problem of identifying members of your own species. If I'm a bird or a fish, which other fish can I successively mate with? It's not very different from why men in armies wear colored uniforms to identify friend from foe. Curled horns do have the practical value of presenting a mechanically robust "battering surface" which is renewable through continued growth. If the horns were straight, they'd be far more likely to break off.

each and all the considered necessary advice that replaced into meant to be interior the Bible is in it, no longer something replaced into skipped over, and it does not point out evolution. And God did no longer create Adam and Eve on the comparable time because of the fact in the previous he even created Eve he knew what replaced into going to happen (the 1st sin), somewhat in all hazard there replaced right into a good clarification why he saved Adam on my own for a mutually as, so as that Adam gets to be responsive to God greater advantageous by their communications. even nevertheless in case you do have self assurance in evolution you may could desire to have self assurance in some variety of better being too because of the fact without it evolution could basically be no longer a hazard.
