Good test question for design vs evolution
Wasting time on Quora again. Most questions are idiotic partisan shit. Occasionally there's a thoughtful one.
How is it possible that there are so many medicinal and generally helpful plants for humans and animals to use? Why are there so many?
It's true that many plants are good food and good medicine. We've neglected a lot of the good medicine, which older cultures understood in detail.
It's also true that animals, including humans, have a specialized hunger for the foods that are good. We've diverted this hunger into processed and manufactured foods, but it's still there after you break some of the commercially induced habits.
What's not obvious at all is the reason. Neither evolution nor design works as an explanation. Some animals are EXTREMELY specific about their ONE necessary food source. Others, including humans, have a wider variety of needs and more flexibility.
Evolution should make all animals fairly adaptable, if not universally adaptable. Design should make all animals precisely synced with their food source. Reality is far more varied.
