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?
