There's only the presence of various look alike skeletons, suggesting the GMO engineers were "tinkering" with design rules, to come up with something more efficient and advanced, the same way automobile engineers have been modifying the skeletons of the cars on the road today.
If you visit any car junkyard,. and look around, you'll find the same kinds of skeletal remains, showing gradual variations, from older cars to more modern cars. But, you wouldn't take that as evidence that the car was a creature that evolved by random changes and natural selection.
Changes? Yes. Selection? Yes?
But not random. Changes by design, selection by designers.
Why should biological organisms be any different?

My point was that in the time that we progressed from using a stick to dig a hole to building space telescopes and computers the second most intelligent species has made no progress in that direction whatsoever. In the time that we went from building a simple campfire to manipulating fire in advanced ways, such as producing electricity or propelling a land, sea, or air vehicle, no other species has adapted to be able to even build a campfire.
And, most importantly, we have developed ways to pass complex knowledge to the next generation. Without that ability none of the other stuff is possible. A chimp may be able to figure out how to use a stick as a tool but it won't be able to document it for another chimp born 5 generations later to study. If that later chimp does use a stick as a tool it will be because he discovered it all over again.
The physical evolution of humans may be explainable by evolution, but our mental evolution is something way beyond that. If evolution is a natural mechanism then the progress of our intelligence is either mystic and supernatural, or was augmented by a higher order of species. I think nothing is supernatural, but rather natural yet unexplained. The reason a higher species may want intelligent beings for some type of consumption could be to remove the need for maintenance, like livestock that can grow its own feed and herd itself when necessary.

How many are reported found by the end of the day? Reports include run aways, husband or wives who abandon their famalies, anyone who does not show up for a few days can be reported missing. That doesnt mean they are not found. Now if 1500 people just up and disapeared and were never heard from again that would be a lot but most folks reported missing are eventually found within a day or two. The report is not recinded when they are found it is just filed away as closed. Just getting the figure for how many people are reported missing is misleading. Some reports are bogus, some are mistakes.

That is absolutely false.
When you look at the fossil history, it doesn't take a genius to recognize that there is a clear slow transition from early human ancestors to modern humans.
Those GMO engineers must have been completely incompetent! It took them 7 million+ years to create humans.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

This is a straw man argument. Cars were assembled by humans and we know this.
Changes? Yes. Selection? Yes?
But not random. Changes by design, selection by designers.

Because they are. I explained above. You are comparing apples to oranges.
Yes, we went from fire and horses to internet, satellites and space ships in a few hundred years. Who cares if less intelligent creatures haven't accomplished that?
Chimps, Dolphins, and a few others teach their young how to use tools. Dolphins are notorious for this. They pass their info to the next generation so they don't have to re-discover it. It may not be complex information, but it's important to their survival, just like a mother lion teaching her young to hunt. Obviously they aren't as smart as humans, but they aren't stupid, however.
You say mental evolution is not physical, but technically it is. Your brain is a physical part of your body that controls all of its functions. Why wouldn't it be physical? Because thoughts are not? Other creatures have brains as well and are self aware. I don't see why you consider humans to be special over other species, simply because they evolved better brains.....Plenty of creatures have tougher, more protective skin, better vision, better hearing, better sense of smell, better stealth, better protection against the elements, etc etc etc. Hopefully you see what I'm getting at.

Actually...eating meat helped our brains develop (relatively) quickly over the past few million years.

This, this, a thousand times this. It may be for some of the dark cabal, that they still prefer meat. But, for the other 99% of the time, it's about life-force energy released through emotions.

An advanced alien race still has to eat meat? Fail. I think we can take em!

I know it would make an awesome story. I have just enough ADHD that I was able to write this hypothesis on it. A book or movie would be out of the question.
The Harvest...times up.
