Evolution is a Theory, not a Hypothesis
To understand the rest of my beliefs you must understand the Theory of Evolution. The Theory of Evolution is not called the Theory of Evolution because they guess that is how it works. A theory is something most respectable scientists agree to be true. It is hard to imagine life having a purpose or objective without also imagining a god to create that objective. However I believe that if a god did create that objective that is all it did and that it is not guiding the process of change. It is observed in non-human history that the general activities of animals have been survival and propagation of themselves. While the environment may change, and the animals may evolve over generations to match it, there was no free willed force to bring about that change. Nature uses the ultimate Hit and Miss Technique for finding the best most capable animal to survive and propagate the species. Evolution works so that the better species will survive, however it doesn’t work so that the more intelligent species, or the more honorable species will survive, it works so that those animals who survive the best, survive. Animals do evolve for a reason; however no animal is ever born with that specific reason in mind. The way it works is that thousands and thousands of animals are born, each with a minor if not completely useless mutation that was not brought about by perfect meiosis. Since the objective of life is to survive any negative mutations which lessen the ability to survive will die off and possibly never seen again. If any animal has a mutation occur that makes them survive significantly better than the current generation of its species then it will survive until it can reproduce and it will continue to reproduce until that mutation is the current generation. People may suggest that anything could happen over the animal’s life which could kill it even if it was better than the rest of the animals. There are two logical answers to that problem. Either it really wasn’t better, or it just had bad luck. There is no rule in evolution that the same exact mutation cannot occur several times before actually surviving to reproduction. The mutation that caused apes to have thumbs may have occurred hundreds of times before the animal eventually survived to reproduce. This is why evolution takes so long. While a mutation for the better may occur every hundred years and die off because a meteor landed on its head, there is still hundreds of millions of years to allow that mutation to occur again. The difference between a significant mutation and an insignificant one may be anything from one amino to 100 amino. Animals who are just one amino away from having a significant mutation usually aren’t few. Usually the entire current generation will be about the same since what ever this species who possessed the possibility to have an even more significant mutation for superiority probably had already been a mutation which made it the better animal and the current generation. Evolution happens for a reason, but mutations themselves are entirely random. Evolution does not work specifically for the smarter animal, or the stronger, it just happens to be that in our case very smart animals are strategically better than other options. Evolution will not cause humans to eventually evolve into energy creatures because that is the higher form of existence, if humans do evolve into energy creatures it will be so far away that thinking about it doesn’t matter and it will happen as a consequence of it being the best chance for survival and propagation.
Lastly i will admit that i myself cannot prove the theory of evolution. However like all things in science, the scientists who have created their theories and have had them accepted by society, simply agree upon something being the truth because it makes enough sense and holds enough consistancy. I cannot provide for you a little sticky note signed by god that this is exactly how it works and if you as a human are determined to believe that this is not the case, and that god has been guiding us through all the millions of years, or that humans have never evolved and we have always been this way, then i cannot say you're wrong. However, as it states in the title, it is a Theory, which means not that there are 3 scientists in my garage who agree it must be true, but that there are hundreds of thousands of scientists who believe it to be true.
