Yep. When you put it that way... just always boggles my mind when I think of
things like the Darwinian mankind evolving drawing. Makes me wonder about why
everything that ever occurs can't somehow continue. But it's really the other
things like alligators and sharks that haven't changed much where it gets
weirder still, if evolving takes place. That's what I mean by sometimes there's
an end product, or so it seems, yet not the other multitude of steps along the
way.

This gets into my more elaborate thoughts about how "designed" life is,
nevermind the billions of years time scale involved-- or not, depending on your
outlook.
Either life is actually simple what form it takes, that meaning it's not like
creatures have special powers as imaginations by people can conjure up, since
everything exists within a niche of their environment. Just like if you were to
stir up a shovel full of ground into a bucket of water and let it settle, it
makes a layered sediment with a kind of form too.

Predestined, I guess is the word. Or is it something else? You see what I'm
saying, it gets complicated. Or is that only because people can think
differently than any other lifeform? Sometimes I wonder which it is.
