You are completely wrong. You're arguing that natural selection is how we evolved but in reality, it's the DNA that provides the boost that makes certain traits more desirable therefore providing the theory of natural selection any legs to begin with. Want me to write it out in crayon for ya? Would that help you understand my theory, big guy?
Here you go, champ. Maybe digesting some Darwin, the father of the theory of natural selection will help you swallow the heaping doses of reality I'm spoon feeding you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection
"Natural selection is the process by which biologic traits become more or less common in a population due to consistent effects upon the survival or reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution.
The genetic variation within a population of organisms may cause some individuals to survive and reproduce more successfully than others. Factors which affect reproductive success are also important, an issue which Charles Darwin developed in his ideas on sexual selection."

Why would we be perfect clones of each other?
YOU are the one that doesn't understand.
Mom and dad had sex. The result was YOU. YOU are some of your mom and some of your dad. THAT is where genetic variation happens.
Natural selection IS how we evolved, that is what evolution is all about.
YOU are saying that DNA changes throughout your lifetime when you yourself have read that it DOESN'T.
Someone is big because their parents were big, not because their parents did a lot of physical activity. If I don't have the trait to be a giant body builder there is no way I'm going to pass that onto my kids no matter how much body building or steroids I take and no matter how big I get.
