3 problems

I've been thinking about evolution, and it has occurred to me that there are 3 problems with it. 1.) evolution by definition is a reactionary process, so how can it look forward - eg how can we as end results of the process ask "what if?" 2.) humanity has the potential to self destruct - Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged recognised that we were the only species that could do that - how can an evolved / reactive process develop a self-destruct mechanism? 3.) At what point along the evolutionary process did it decide to split out into separate genders, and where can we point to to demonstrate this? Any thoughts?

I am not sure why I am saying this since Mr. James is apparently gone, but I feel the need to say it anyway. I will not think ill thoughts towards him because of this discussion. I am grateful for the understanding I have about evolution, and looking forward to learning more. I really don't find myself thinking, "What if...? very often in this regard. It doesn't seem to be necessary.
