hello! i have few questions if you guys have the time to reponse to them.
is evolution a sentient thing? is it self-aware? is the process conscious?
if the answer is no! then...
is your stomach self-aware? is it conscious ?
when your stomach produce a mucous lining to protect itself from being digested by the acid, that's not because it can understands the risk of the acid, but because it was taught to operate that way.
If you swallow a liquid which is a poison, your stomach will absorb that liquid, because that's what it meant for it to do and from there it goes to your blood stream and once that poison is inside the body
it will be used. It's not the fault of your stomach that made you get poisoned and it's not it's responsibility to check what your throw in it, but it's you who has a consciousness to understand that this is wrong.
how does a tree knows what it's fruit should taste like to humans? so it makes them so sweet with tempting smell, looks and colors? why the fruit supply us with important nurtrients and it's not posionous?
is the tree a sentient thing? is it self-aware? is it conscious? if the answer again is no! then...
if an it " evolution" doesnt know and an it " tree " doesnt know then who does?
Please stay on the topic and don't try to explain evolutoin to me. if you disgree with my points then....
you are telling that evolution is capable of desiging us without having a consciousness or thoughts or knowledge or even a reason for it ?
you are telling me that evolution understand when to start evolving an organ and it knows when to stop?
you are telling me that evolution finished evolving living parts and it wrote a full set of instrctions on each specific part, so that a heart will be reproduced as a heart and a lung will be reproduced as a lung
and a stomach will be reproduced as a stomach, but in another human body? and it designed the female body to be capable of receiving and understanding those instructions?
all of this from mindless evolution without...
Any understandings of it's surroundings, brain, thoughts, without knowing what it's actions are, and without realizing what the reasons are.

I've not read anything so utterly (and insanely) ignorant before!
You have absolutely no idea what evolution is, do you?
My suggestion is to read, understand, ask question and learn from science/biology textbooks or from websites that teach or explain evolution-101 are neither anti-creationist nor anti-atheist sources (meaning free from creationist or atheist biases - which is, purely scientific sites).
Cells, genes, DNA, mutations, etc, have no sentience, PERIOD!
Evolution is any one of the biological mechanisms, not a magical or supernatural sentient being, that determine what offspring or descendants are reproduced that have been changed.
Changes occurred at cellular or genetic level, and have been affected by external, but natural environmental factors, such as climate and terrain of where the creature inhabited, or the availability of food and types of food available (hence dietary resources) in that geographical location.
The changes in genes are inherited characteristics from population over successive numbers of generations.
If you have studied genetics before, you would know that a child would inherit physical characteristics from either parents or from both parents. A child may
This genetic inheritance required no divine intervention or supernatural sentient being affecting the offspring's physical characteristics or features. Does god determine the child have blue eyes of one parent or brown eyes from another parent?
If this is true, then why should god affect changes in genes in a biological population?
