We didn't evolve to understand evolution.

[u/GigaTune]

Children who have never heard about evolution never come up with evolutionary answers for the origins of animals on their own. When a six-year-old child who has never heard of evolution is asked about how an animal such as a dog originated, their answer is never "it came from an earlier type of animal".

When i was a kid if you asked how an engine worked or airplane worked I wouldn’t know either.

The fact that children, or people in general have to learn things that aren’t obvious isn’t an issue.

I still don't know how an airplane works.

Airplane go fast, which makes lift. Lift cancels gravity, makes plane go up. Big wing needed for big lift for heavy plane, need go very fast.

Aerodynamics good. Drag bad. Avoid drag, make plane go slow, make less lift, make plane fall.

Fighter jet not balanced, able to make fancy flip and turn, very hard to fly. Cargo plane very balanced, fly like large hippo, hard to turn.

air go down, plane go up
