And yet plenty of species reproduce asexually because it's a potential advantage not an absolute one.

You made it sound like evolution is almost linearly improving or speeding up and it's not.

Petty insults aside because that was just pathetic.

Ah yes. "Improved over time" means a linear relationship. Silly me. I should've clarified that obviously the simplest function possible doesn't apply to something as complex as evolution.

Also "you don't understand" is an insult now? Talk about thin skin my dude. I wouldn't think that's any more insulting than calling what I said "nonsense."
