or if not: are we on the way to perfect bodies and minds?
on a side note: why do we have eyes? why not a super wave sensor? why only see waves between 400 and 700 nms? "What" decided this?

We are not perfect and we will never be. Evolution does not create perfect organisms for several reasons.
One, the environmental conditions change over time, therefore an organism which might have been perfect in one environment will probably less than perfect in another. Therefore the ability to adapt is more important than certain fixed attributes.
Two, an organism is consuming energy, and for every attribute it develops it will consume additional energy. In the case of humans, it is the brain which consumes very much energy compared to other body parts. This energy must be supplied all the time by acquiring food, and the food supply is not unlimited. So an organism cannot develop any desirable attribute (like your super wave sensor) it has to settle for the most important ones. An eagle needs excellent eyesight but a human does not, compared to other attributes.

regrettably, helpful. i do no longer understand how they are able to regulate the cognitive dissonance. you're no longer nicely-knowledgeable because of the certainty you do no longer understand that concept is the main suitable possible degree in technology. this is now no longer a wager. this is ignorant to declare "in straight forward terms a concept". the commonplace ancestor of all apes (which comprise people and chimps) is a monkey and which may be examined on your delight. It does now no longer count upon the belief of evolution. this is a fact. Theories would not have info which maximum suitable applies in arithmetic. Theories have info. there is not any info of a god of any type. Theories are falsifiable. it particularly is a function, now no longer a malicious application. If info is produced that exhibits one extra concept or this one needs replace, then we got here upon something and are grateful for it. faith does now no longer have that function. And this is requred. So shape by making use of making use of a god heavily isn't waiting of being a concept. because of the fact the invention of mitochodrial DNA ancestry is additionally desperate by making use of potential of genetic mapping and we don't % bones to substantiate the belief. Theories make predictions and could be utilized to strengthen different theories and open up completely new strains of inquiry. the belief of evolution is effective seeing it particularly is works, now no longer inevitably because of the fact this is certainty. Evolution is certainty in spite of the undeniable fact that ordinary decision is a concept. final analysis is that it works. God as a info would not artwork for us and is not any longer quite an answer in that regard. Its an excuse to no longer think of approximately it.

God decided this cuz if we can feel the ultraviolet and infrared waves , then we would see unpleasant things u know them that any human cannot tolerate and would rather commit suicide !
i think u know what i mean by those unpleasant things!
so that is the perfect way that God created us too even if doesn't sound to others like that....

We aren't to the 'optimum' stage yet but are evolving there.
Read up on the evolution of human's ability to see colors. That'll give you some answers as to how it's all developing.

No, we are not optimum.
We have eyes because they are a major help in moving about the macroscopic world. There is no real evolutionary advantage to perceiving other wavelengths.
If you are serious about this, could you please ask in the biology section next time? Evolution is the foundation of modern biology, and not another religion or spirituality.

Evolution is about perfection. It is about survival advantage.
We have a single photo detection chromophore, rhodopsin. We have adapted that single molecule to serve as a broad range detector and more discrete color detectors. There is nothing invisible to this visual scheme.

Hell, no.
Evolution is pretty random, it doesn't have a target.
