Darwin's monkey and Schroedinger's cat


People are running like fools just to prove 'a person wrong'. Indeed, the thought of evolution from monkey to man has imbibed in us. All of us.

If the theory is correct there is no need to prove it! But how do you prove if the theory is correct? Normally we use experimental and check its repeatability. In the case of human evolution the time scale does not allow it. As one study points out that chimpanzees are our closest relatives and not monkeys. Other study says that if the evolution has started with A and ended with B, then A should disappear. But it seems both monkeys and humans are co-existing in their natural habitat. It is truly an incredible task to prove the evolution geneology. In the sense, to match every bone and muscle to its predecessor and prove the minute change that is caused because of evolution is a daunting task indeed. One of the ways for the scientists to foresee the evolution is by looking at the fossils. Human skeleton remains from few million years connect to our ancestors. But the question is how to connect and prove that evolution has happened? Most of the ancient fossils of "humans" may not be feasible for a complete study.

If a person cuts his thumb, then cuts the thumb of his child and then his grand child thumb and then great-grandchild's thumb... will the next generation be without thumb? If not, doesn't it prove  the evolution theory wrong? One of the doctor tested this with rats. He cut the tail of the rats for 10 generations and Indeed, the 11th generation rats had tails!  So what is the timeline for human evolution then?

So on and so forth... Sometimes i question, if lord ram and hanuman can be together in the same era, doesn't it point to the evolutionary tale?

Even better, Sschrodinger's cat is dead and alive at the same time :-) Now, how is that for an evolution story.
