Mommy and Daddy Innovation?
Innovation requires intentionality and creativity; evolution is a dumb
blind process, possessing neither of these. You know not whereof
you speak, nor will you even take the time to learn, but persist in
jamming your foot so far in your mouth that you cut your own throat
with your hangnails. Innovation comes from the directed creativity
of recursively self-aware intentionality posessing a memory of what
has and hasn't worked in its past and faced with a problem to be
solved (try reading THE GRASP OF CONSCIOUSNESS by Jean
Piaget), lummox; of course, never having personally experienced
any of these (aside from your personal problems, which you
obviously have yet to solve), how was you to know?
