Okay I am not sure what "human high average becoming higher" means at all... But I will address humans living longer. That is not evolution. Atleast not biological macroevolution which is a more fitting name then just evolution. That is a sign of medical advances mostly. And as for holes in evolution? Well how about the millions and I do mean millions of missing links? I mean its not just the missing links between apes and man (or between man and apes common ancestor. Which is just another theory created to explain the gaps between apes and man although I don't see how it works because there are even more gaps between man and an older ancestor) but what about all the other missing links? Even if they were "evolved out" shouldn't there atleast be some fossils? And another thing I want to address, someone stated that evolution is the common belief among scientist. Which is true. But of all the scientist that do believe in evolution many of them disagree on very key facets. There are also many scientist that do not believe in it at all as well. Or ones that believe in it as a coencide with creationism. Now let as not forget though, just because something is popular does not mean it is right. Slavery used to be very popular. But looking more at science lets not forget that there was a time when the general scientific community KNEW that earth was the center of the universe. There was a time that they KNEW the world was flat. My point being simply this. Just because it is "science" does not mean we should not question it.
EDIT: Just had to rant a few more things out. I am not arguing against micro evolution. Basically that if given the chance creatures can, over time, grow to be stronger,faster and smarter. And as they do so the faster,stronger and smarter ones would live longer and have more children. But that dosn't mean that eventully a cat will become a dog. I have never seen an example of selective breeding or anything that was able to come up with a new creature. A faster dog, yes. A meater cow, prehaps. But where are all the pot bellied elephants? Another thing, Were have we ever observed mutations to be good? I mean a mutation by any other name is.. cancer. Prehaps one day the cancer victims shall rule the earth. In time....
