Yeah, hard to know who's right before we get immortal. But nature can produce immortality and evolution didn't settle on it so we should wonder why.

  Evolution doesn't work towards an end goal like that though. There are plenty of attributes we have which are sub-optimal. For example our eyes have a number of significant flaws many of which are not present in other, arguably inferior, species to ourselves. You'd probably have a stronger case if you argued about natural selection instead but given the history of humans, it's hard to believe that many would reached the end of their natural lives before getting killed. Certainly not enough and over a long enough period for immortality to have come about.

  As if evolution required reasons to settle on stuff.
