MrG it would be useful if you indicated when you were actually discussing Abiogenesis rather than Evolutionary theory and stopped suggesting that ideas and evidence of the two were some kind of proof or refutation for each other.
It's either disingenuous or shows lack of understanding of them.

"It also has been stated that the human brain could take any load of learning and memory put on it now, and a billion times that! But why would evolution produce such an excess? “This is, in fact, the only example in existence where a species was provided with an organ that it still has not learned how to use,” admitted one scientist. He then asked: “How can this be reconciled with evolution’s most fundamental thesis: Natural selection proceeds in small steps, each of which must confer on its bearer a minimal, but nonetheless measurable, advantage?” He added that the human brain’s development “remains the most inexplicable aspect of evolution.”

"Since the evolutionary process would not produce and pass on such excessive never-to-be-used brain capacity, is it not more reasonable to conclude that man, with the capacity for endless learning, was designed to live forever?"

I assume the last sentence is actually your editorial since no scientist would make such an assumption unless it could be demonstrated that in practice the human body was also designed to live forever. Except perhaps those overly enchanted with the brain and their own thought processes.

Clearly a Human has brain "potential" way beyond what appears needed for everyday life.
Also clearly we have no real idea why this is so or why it is teamed with a body subject to so many limitations upon this potential.

Despite your pleasant version, the real purpose of Man is an extraordinary mystery.
As Shakespeare wondered ... and said through the mouth of Hamlet ..

"What a piece of work is a man !
How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty !
In form and moving how express and admirable !
In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god !
The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust ?
Man delights not me. No, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so."
