Evolution - its fact, not fiction.
We have become who we are now from our great ancestor apes. If you accept that you have the influence of the ideas, and habits of your grand parents who lived 200 years ago, then you should also accept that still you have the influence of your great grand parent the apes, but might be a lesser influence comparatively with your recent grand father. And your ideas and habits will have a direct influence on your children and your further generation. If you say this false, there will not be a mankind today, and earths population would be billions of apes.. and if you accept, then you should also accept evolution..
If you accept that worms get originated in a human stomach, and live for years, then you should also accept that life on earth was first originated in water, and later moved to land (the reptiles), and tortoise is one of the oldest species which has seen a million of transformation in species on earth and water.
And you say, the humans today are worse mentally and physically than any time before.. I should accept you.. and again this is due to the same evolution, and transformation.. yesterday we were apes, today we are humans, and tomorrow may be a new species. Thats evolution. The mental weakness today is due to the development of the entertainment media. there is no way to escape it unless to live in peace in a jungle. And unlike our ancestors who ploughed the field and lived in jungles, today humans work with minds, hence the physical weakness. But the greatest development ever did TIME AND UNIVERSE see was the transformation of an ape to a human. And the greatest destruction ever did TIME AND UNIVERSE see was not just World wars, but the adultery of human mind.
