I just don't get evolution. If we supposedly evolved from the ape, where did all of the ape-like hair go. What made us walk upright? What made us grow. Apes today don't seem to be evolving much. It seems to me that there had to be something that lasted a very long period of time in order to cause us to evolve. What could that have been. If you took a fish out of water, and threw it on the ground, would it magically sprout legs and start walking to "adapt." No. It would eventually die. It's too farfetched to say we evolved. No one could have lived long enough. What changed caused us to stop evolving?
Evolution just doesn't seem possible to me. Will someone clear me up on the subject because it's too confusing to me.
