I have this conversation a lot. Tell me how did evolution know a body would need a heart, a brain, lungs, blood, and opposite sex body to reproduce. Something smart had to design us. We are like engines. No way a bunch of cells just accidentally made a heart and a brain to control the heart and lungs to provide oxygen and etc etc. Something intelligent had to do it.
Evolution doesn't 'know' anything, evolution doesn't consciously decide what all the different species need and then evolves them that way. Species evolve through natural laws, no different to the laws of gravity. A leaf doesn't fall towards the ground because a conscious force decides it should move in that particular direction, the same goes for the evolution of species.
Imperceptible changes occur in an animal's genes due to mistakes in their copying. Most of these changes have no effect, most of the ones that do will just cause the animal to die, but a tiny fraction of them will incidentally have a positive effect. That animal will stand a slightly greater chance of surviving than other animals in the species, therefore having a greater chance of passing on those genes to its offspring. After many generations, those new genes overtake the old genes until there are none of the old genes left. Over millions of years (a scale of time that us individual humans have no chance of really understanding) this can create the most complex structures.
I don't know about your specific examples, but I'm sure you can look them up online and you'll find something. I did find this example about the evolution of the eye though:

I'm not an evolutionist so I really don't know, but I imagine many things are possible given an eternity. Life confounds me. I don't have the answers and neither does anyone else.
And some of the food ends up becoming Ben and Jerry's ice cream. That stuff is the second best ice cream on this planet.
What is the first best? Baskin Robbins, especially "peanut butter and chocolate" flavor.
Those two treats alone pretty much prove there IS a God.
Iin to cringe everytime I hear someone bringing up God

Evolution would argue we exist because we evolved to eat the food that's around us.
