My understanding is that creatures either evolve in response to external influences and/or because of "Random mutations" or that they are designed by a creator.
If that's how things work, then why alligators haven't evolved thumbs or why we haven't evolved, or evolved away from, the patently superior ability to process salt water?
since you ignore answers to questions, perhaps you could answer one yourself. what advantage would thumbs afford an alligator in you opinion? tree climbing? using tools?
what makes you think that a creature living on land would benefit from drinking salt water? you call it patently superior, but it could help that you substantiate that. i think that land animals are better adapted to drinking fresh water for a number of reasons.
you mount evidence that you dont appreciate the factor of time and advantage in evolution. you give the impression that you couldn't spot advantage when you face it.
