Now, will this "gene" of avoiding fire be passed on since it is what allowed the smart guy to adapt to the situation rather than die? No, there is no evidence for this.
You see what I'm saying. We can isolate certain facts and twist them to suit our theory while ignoring other ones that contradict it.

You keep thinking of things from a one person perspective, in a single episode. You need to think over the population.
Like in Africa people who have sickle-cell trait are more resistant to malaria.
This trait provides an advantage in this population and IS a gene and IS passed on.
