Evolution as a theory seems great except when it doesn’t explain 30 million years of no change whatsoever.

Perhaps it’s a time traveling mantis.

Who said mantises haven’t evolved in 30 million years? 😂💀 Hate to break it to you, but looking similar and being identical are too very different things. Hoping OP is just a bot and no one’s this simple minded.

Thats not how evolution works. Thats not how any of this works!

If crabs 50 million years ago, why crabs now?

… one specific species of mantis existing 30 million years ago does not mean it hasnt diverged since then- it just means its a very robust species.
There are over 2400 recognized species of mantis- and no telling how many have gone extinct since then.

Before I go off and assume, would you be willing to elaborate on your point more?

In this sub, everything is questioned, but not the theory of evolution? Idiocracy Electrolyte ahhhh

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Well, yeah. Sometimes you’re going to have events that force massive change in order to adapt.
Look at Hawaii for instance. Every so often lava just fucks shit up for everything in its path. Birds can fly to a non-lava soaked part of the island. Once things start growing again they can also recolonize more easily than terrestrial animals. As a result Hawaii becomes a favorable environment for birds leading to Hawaii’s insane diversity in bird species
Other times it may be over a period of millions of years. Orcas started out as land-dwelling mammals for 10 million years before they decided “You know what? Fuck land. Let’s go bully great white sharks.” Around ~50 million years ago. They still have pelvic bones and legs, they’re just vestigial now. Like our tailbones

Well of course it didn’t evolve, it was dead and stuck in amber the entire time 😉

Who’s to say it’s that old tho, like do we really question scientists about that?

Insects have been around for around 480 million years. 30 million is less than 10% of that timeline.
This is like saying an 80 yr-old has always looked old and wrinkly because they were also old and wrinkly at 75.
If you want to get even crazier, insects have only been around for 13% of the time that we’ve estimated life to have existed on Earth. That means for the timeline that life has existed on Earth, at 30 million years, this Praying Mantis has only existed for less than 0.81% of it.

Like with the whole dinosaurs became birds thing. Then dig up the hundreds of millions of years old fossils that show that progression. They dig up tons of fossils all over the world. You would think if the theory were true at all there would be even more fossils of these various animals changing across the millenia than there are of they’re just base original forms. But there isn’t. You have tons of fossils of animal A, then nothing until a few fossils of this other thing they say is evidence of progression and it’s already stage G. The nothing. Here’s a few fossils of something else and they say no it’s not it’s own thing it’s stage L. Then modern bird. Stage Z.
Plants, animals, humans. All of it. There is no evidence that shows this slow as hell millions of years long process they claim is settled science.
Everything just pops up in the record. Including us.
