Yes, going from one species to another is a giant leap. And that giant leap is covered in many many stepping stones. Not just one.
I don't think you even understand what you're arguing against. for example
" That assumes the "enviroment" is a sentient being that can actually choose which species will survive and which won't. That creates quite a paradox I'd say. Are you referring to macro and micro evolution? "
Where the hell do you get this from? And macro evolution and micro evoltuion are the exact same procersses, only macro evoltion is over more time. People usually differentiate between them so they can discount the evoltuion and adaptation we can observe happen within our lifetime as mere "micro evoltion" when its all evoltion and is the same drivig force.
The envoronment doesnt have to become sentient to choose, give me a break. I am so tempted to just start calling you stupid names at this point. The environment doesnt stop and think 'lets see who will die today', the envronment is simply necesarily more suitable for one adaptaion and less suitable for another.
Why does the theory fall apart on chance? The theory was made by chance! The chance that a certain adaptation will survive or not in a certain environment. Do you understand at all? Is any of this getting through to you? I'm about ready to stop trying to argue when you reply with shit like this.
" But my gripe isn't how Evolution works, it's how Evolution RUNS. Not everyone understands how a car works, but it's understood that you need gas to run it. Evolution needs information to run itself, and if you assume the enviroment is providing all that information, you're assuming the enviroment is actually making decisions on which species can exist and which cannot. If you say this is a "natural process", this goes against pretty much everything you know."
Evolution is just something that has to happen. There is life and death, and environment that helps decide who lives and who dies. I'm starting to think you are putting up blinders, because theses are som simple ideas that you aren't getting. Traits are determined by genes, do you admit this much? A tall mom and tall dad will be much more likely to have a tall child. Understand? If for some reason humans who were taller could reproduce easier or survive easier then there would be more tall people. IS any of this making sense? Please tell me that you at least understand that much.
