I do not doubt the Evolution Theory. It is, in Darwin's language, one long argument based on-if I may try out a pun-on a "mountain" of evidence.Not only geological evidence e.g.fossils but biological evidence abounds.Modern Science of Genetics has confirmed this theory. No questions there.
My first point is "Why at all there is an Evolution of Life when ,which is the distinguishing feature of Living Beings.Wherefrom has this need come?".
My first point is "Why at all there is an Evolution of Life when the universe is mostly Dead Matter."
This is not part of evolution theory, but there are several scenarios. Since there are no fossils of the first lifeforms on Earth, it is hard to verify such theories. Look up "abiogenesis".
My second point is" What was the Need to evolve from simpler forms to more complicated forms."
Evolution does not happen because there is a "need" for it to happen. More complicated forms evolved because they could, there was a niche for them to exploit.
My third point is" Selection-whether by Nature or as alternatively put in this forum by Environment requires an external agency interfering into the Mechanics of Living Beings. Really?"
Yes.
If we are to come to a conclusion by saying that Selection is an automatic process as asserted by some in this forum,we are skirting the issue. Why not simply say we do not know?
But we do know. We know very well how it works. Once again I recommend you read something about basic evolution theory.
My fourth point is" the need to procreate,which is the distinguishing feature of Living Beings.Wherefrom has this need come?".
This is an essential ingredient for evolution. It did not happen because there was a "need" for it. Evolution requires three basic ingredients.
1. A replicating agent carrying information.
2. A random or pseudo-random element to change the information.
3. Interaction with the environment.
Evolutionary systems do not just appear in nature, but also in computer programming, economics, sociology and other fields. I once again stress that evolutionary theory does not explain how the replicating agents came to be, nor is this explanation relevant for evolution theory to be valid.
