When you look at your face in the mirror all your features have
semidry (if I spelled that right).
My face is not perfectly symmetrical - I have a jaw asymmetry. It used to hurt a lot, especially if I talked for long periods or ate hard things, so I got braces and that fixed it up a bit. Now it doesn't hurt, and you can hardly notice it.
So, the reason the face is symmetrical is because the ones who didn't have symmetry had problems in function, and this reduced their reproductive success. Symmetry = beautiful for a reason you know!

Re: logical fallacies #1 & #2
RAZD writes:
The mistake you are making falls into the category of a logical fallacy of the following type:
All {A} is {B}
{B} exists
therefore {A} exists
The problem is that {B} also includes not{A} so the existence of {B} does not prove {A}.
You're confusing.
