Evolution, Involution, Adaptation

I’ve talked about some of these ideas elsewhere and was only considering giving it its own post… but after having just read this article a few minutes ago, I figured that now was the time to spit this stuff out.
“A close-up view of the human genome has revealed its innermost workings to be far more complex than first thought.”
Oh, you don’t say?
Yeah so, I’m no authority on evolutionary theory but I am familiar with a lot of the misconceptions that other people have regarding it. It’s one thing to judge a idea based on its merits but it’s another thing altogether to accept it whole-heartedly without really considering its implications and following them out to their logical end. I’ve noticed that a lot of people who believe that evolution is “the answer” haven’t really put that much thought into what the theory truly suggests.
First I’m going to pick apart what I believe are erroneous assumptions made about the process of evolution and then I’m going to suggest a couple alternate ideas with their own possible implications. Feel free to pick apart my ideas too, as you may feel I’m not following them to their logical end either.
Here we go…
