Survival is a conscious choice, but if I have evolved why don't I remember it?
Memory is key to the passing on of the necessary knowledge for survival among other things. Survival is a conscious choice. Why do these two things not combined to create a memory of having evolved?
The evidence is missing for a reason. Evolution is false. The devil has deceived people that they can forget their ancestry with the justification of survival.

Survival is a conscious choice, but if I have evolved why don't I remember it? And if cow poetry shines like pacifism, why don't uvulas blackrock on Seinfeld?
Memory is key to the passing on of the necessary knowledge for survival among other things. Survival is a conscious choice. Why do these two things not combined to create a memory of having evolved? Because there's no reason why they should, unless we ignore the glaring non sequitur .
How interesting... if you can't remember it, it never happened.
You can´t remember something that hasn´t happened to you and it takes many generations back. Do you remember your first nursing, your first smell? If you mix memory here, end of the story. You don´t know what evolution is.
Survival is a conscious choice
I suppose the easiest answer is that evolution uses mechanisms that don't require memory, such as genetic mutation. Mutation is not under your conscious control and you have no awareness of it, therefore no memory of it.
"Survival is a conscious choice."This reminds me of an incident a couple years ago. I inquired of a Christian Scientist friend (the Mary Baker Eddy kind, not the Ken Ham type) about a mutual friend. He said, with a straight face, that our friend had ALLOWED himself to die of a stroke.
Obviously you have no idea what the process of evolution actually is, how it operates and how it is NOT a mechanism for the transmission of memories. I said it countless times, but here it is again, just for you: get a fucking education. And no, home schooling does not count.
Because people also don't remember breathing, digesting, absorbing nutrients, sweating.
I mean, if I ever forgot how to breath, I won't know what to do with myself!
first sentence fail.
Rest of it? Even worse.
So do you eat berries off of random trees? Do you go crawling into bear caves, and start smacking around bear cubs? Do you tap dance in the middle of a freeway?
Guess what? You chose survival!
Further, evolution is not an event. It's a process, not applied to individuals, but groups, over a great deal of time, where mutations that prove beneficial to survival are passed down through generations, accumulating over time.
TL;DR: POKEMON IS NOT AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF EVOLUTION! FUCK!
Oh, and we are always more than happy to present evidence of evolution. it's not our fact that you throw it aside, and plant your fingers in your ears to protect your ironclad ignorance.
Individuals don't evolve. But your family line has evolved. You don't look exactly like your parents, and they didn't look exactly like your grandparents, and your grandparents didn't look exactly like your great-grandparents, etc, for a few million years. That's the simplest ABC evolution lesson I can give you.
You don't remember evolving? Huh.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
