Then we should see examples of evolution bringing about something that is not suited to their environment.

Can you point these out?

Most mutations are neutral, they are neither beneficial nor deleterious, so your “not suited” is mostly incorrect. A neutral mutation is equally suited, but different from the standard DNA. Blue eyes as opposed to brown eyes is an example. Both work, but blue eyes are a mutation.

A very mildly deleterious mutation might hang around as a result of chance for a time, or simple recur in new individuals each generation. Achondroplasia is such an example. It can be inherited and it can appear in families with no previous history of Achondroplasia. It is mildly deleterious in humans, though it is a definite advantage in Dachshunds, which have the same mutation.

In the journey from a single cell to a man, there must have been many false starts and poor choices.

Where are they?

The picture you paint portrays all the good choices staying and all the bad being gone in a couple of generations.

Even if if this were the case, where are all the mistakes?

I think the episode is a deliberate reference to the crossing of the Red Sea.

The similarity between the two events is obvious and you probably don’t believe in the Red Sea crossing either. I guess you are too intellectually sophisticated and evolved to believe in such childish stories. Is there at least one miracle described in the Bible that you believe it? Or are they all “myths” according to your Scientism belief system?

At what point in time was food edible ? I guess a pineapple was delicious the whole time it was evolving.

I speculate that they are in the dustbin of history…never to be found again.

Without these, one would have a difficult time proving random mutation.

Haven’t you heard, evolution doesn’t make mistakes… everything works out for the good
 
No, no. You’ve got it wrong. The first cell was getting nutrients from energy sources or chemicals but it didn’t have the machinery to process this - as far as is known. Pineapples would show up millions of years later, and would just happen to be edible.

Dear Glark, you’re getting very sour in this conversation - what’s the matter? Why are you worried that I am more intellectually sophisticated than you are? You know nothing about me. I fear that all your negativity will do you harm. Relax.

Miracles are surprises that help create or strengthen faith. They do not need to be irrational. A tribe of starving nomads in the desert waking up to find an exhausted flock of birds flopping around their camp. A miracle; why not? Hospitals all over the world are used to the most astonishingly unlikely recoveries from apparently incurable diseases. Miracles.

But feeding five thousand people with two fish - nah. Myth.
 
The Resurrection: Not a myth.
How do I decide: Faith, reason, an informed conscience, the bible and the teaching of the Catholic Church, as laid out in the Catechism, Encyclicals and other documents at Vatican.va.
