Are we absolutely certain it didnt evolve so that humans have to keep it going? Maybe that was it’s plan all along?

damn, i had so much arguments with creationists around myself recently, that just the words “plan” and “evolution” put together make me unhappy

plan and evolution together feels eugenics-y, yeah that makes me unhappy too

That weird, because all of our farmed crops and animals are selectively breed, which means planned evolution (usually, but I guess some ancient examples were purely accidental). Evolution is just the process of selection to perpetuate offspring. It being planned or unplanned doesn’t matter. Creationism is just not talking about evolution at all usually.

Maize can’t grow naturally because of the husks, it needs humans

Maize didn’t evolve naturally, we created it. Teosinte on the other hand is generally eaten and shat back out before germinating

wait, you can’t just bury an old ear of corn, you gotta take the husk off? TIL

Well, there’s what are probably wild populations in mountainous areas so I think that proves rather handily that the problem is, as always, humans
