If evolution is true then why can't people fly?

Question

Or regenerate their cells instantaneously?
Or bend space and time with their minds?
Or paint the future?
Or hear other peoples' thoughts?
Or walk through walls?

Doesn't that prove that evolution is false?

Answer 1

Save the cheerleader

Answer 2

You know, some people can do those things (well, others may not believe but I do, very strongly), but these people are hard to come by. If you read Richard Bach's 'Illusions', for example, you already have one person who can walk through walls. Very advanced yoga-ists can possibly regenerate their cells. As for hearing people's thoughts, lots of people can do that :) Telepathy is quite popular these days. Flying is also claimed by a number of people (no, not Copperfield, that was fake :P).
Though only a small percentage of the world's population can do these things, maybe it's only because God (if you believe there is a God) cannot trust us all to have those abilities, because some people might use them for their own good and not for the benefit of others.
It's quite a difficult question. Very philosophical, but then it's sort of the same as asking why does death happen if God exists? Why do people suffer? Maybe only a handful of people can fly but they do not tell anyone because they are afraid of how madly people would react. There are so many hidden things around us, and every person has their own...secrets :)

Answer 3

"A hundred years of fruit flies equals millions of years of human evolution yet no macro change." Not true, or not exactly true. Evolution doesn't have a predictable time frame, further when we work with fruit flies we are not trying to simulate evolution, we are trying to produce a given result, much like we do when we artificially selected wolves into dogs or any of our other domestications. However the 20 year e. coli experiment is showing some very interesting results, but you are like to be unaware of it, just as you are of the rest of the massive amounts of research and evidence backing evolution. Your "proof" rests in the faith that your ignorant lack of understand of science is correct, which it is not. Please try to educate yourself. Edit: It should be noted that you have just "claimed" that all fruit fly mutations have been non beneficial without presenting any sort of evidence that this is the case or creditable reference to back up our claim. Further, you have failed to discriminate amongst trails where the researchers are trying to breed a new species, give fruit flies beneficial traits or those where they are breeding for some other reason. Generally speaking, I would guess that the majority of research is not directed to creating a new species or to create "better" fruit flies.

Answer 4

Maybe people would rather fly in tribes or groups.
Your cells are regenerating all the time
Time does not exist when one is not in the mind
You are painting your future everytime you think
Peoples thoughts are heard, I hear them
Once when astral travelling I flew through a wall, but then I had left the body.

But then that is enlightenment
And enlightenment is the species evolving, isn't it.
I know it is.

Answer 5

Darwin died along with his theory is what I say. I do believe in adaptation though. People, along with every other organism, tend to adapt to their surroundings and pass on such adaptations to the spawn. That can be used as an example of evolution I guess, People cannot walk through walls, or any of the other stuff, because of the simple lack of necessity. you know the saying; Necessity of the mother of invention. This can be argued for years on-end, but when its all over both will just be out of breath and still same believers of their own concept.

Answer 6

cuz evolution doesnt necisarily mean ppl gro supr powrs....evolution is also how the world is changing, (global warming, extinctions, poputlation...) and how ppl r changing...like, 4 example, ppl used 2 nvr get heart attaks undr the age of 49, but the way food is evolving so unhealthy, ppl r gettin heavier which is causin problems....plus, bend time and space....c'mon...the space is way 2 vast anyway...ppl may b able 2 'predict the future' or claim 2 at least, but evolution has nuthin 2 do with humans gettin supr abilities and bein able 2 do stuff like that....look at evolution in technology...computrs didnt exist till like the 90's, neithr did cell phones...evolution is way more than ppl...

Answer 7

evolution doesnt happen cause we want to do something silly...

evolution is natures way of perfecting an already established platform...hence zebra having strips...spiders having fangs....

its usually a occurence that happens under stressful situations...imagine giraffes with short necks...and years of droaght caused cause a shortage of leaves in trees...well suddenly you start to see only the giraffes with longer necks surviving...and then due to a genetic coincidence a giraffe is born disturbingly different with a long neck....like as if a child were born with 6 fingers or something (which thing like that do happen) well that giraffe becomes the ultimate survivor, hence mating a lot nd hence having many giraffe off spring with longer necks than its predisesor.

Answer 8

Planes?
Surgery?
Evolution takes billions of years for the slightest changes and it only occurs when the way life is being lived would need to be drastically changed to survive in that environment

Answer 9

no because things evolve and adapt to meet their needs to survive. for instance we wouldn't need to do any of those things because they wouldn't help us survive as a species and it takes millions of years for things to evolve. so who knows maybe in the far distance future humans will be able to fly and regenerate limbs. but the rest seems kinda like what a super hero could do.

Answer 10

The path of evolution is paved by the scientist who controls it. The God Yahweh.
