1) Termites cannot digest cellulose.
2) They can only chew it up and swallow it.
3) The little critters that live in their intestines digest the cellulose.
4) Those critters cannot live outside of the termite.
5) And the termite cannot live without those critters.
If they evolved, so which one evolved first, and how could each one survive without the other one?*

Wow, sickle-cell anemia is such a positive thing.
So how does having a disease, and not getting another disease, create new information to spawn forth progress that evolution needs?
Let’s say, best case scenario, 1) you have sickle-cell anemia, 2) you don’t get fatally sick from anything else (hopefully), 3) and you are still immune to malaria. What do you do? You live, and that’s it . Where is the evidence (no new information is created) to say that you progress or evolve because of your state of deficiency and are better off than the “species” that came before you? So you increase your chances of survival by getting a disease that is damaging and can kill you (wow that’s logic?) But wait, good thing your immune to malaria!
If you are born without arms, (a loss of information in your DNA caused you not to be born with any arms.) Or they happen to get cut off for some reason. Say the person gets arrested for something, they cannot be handcuffed.* Hey, that’s a positive thing. You would be immune to handcuffs. It may be beneficial for the moment, but is the person really better off, back in society, in day-to-day life. And it didn’t create any new information.
Last time I checked, arms are quite helpful in the real world.
If you are born without legs (again, loss of information) or they get cut off for some reason. You would be immune to athlete’s foot. Hey that’s a positive thing. But am I really better off? And it didn’t create any new information.
Last time I checked your feet come in pretty handy.
Translate the above examples to the sickle-cell case.
How can you get ahead, if you keep losing information? And you’re still not generating any new information. Yes boys and girls that’s how we came to be……we lost everything so that’s how we got everything. What?

Termites and the critters Evolve together. That is how you explain Termites. Think of the Galapagos Islands. Many birds there have beaks specially designed for different flowers. That is evolution in action.
That is right. You LIVE. Live is all about survival. And duh, nobody is going to evolve without arms anytime soon. Because we USE arms. Duh, we USE feet. We do not use our pinkys, our appendix, or our tails. That is why we are steadily losing them.
Without Sickle-Cell Anemia, you would die. Affliction is better than Death in the natural world. You may have all of those health problems, but at least you are not dead and can still pass on your genes.
