Why Doesn’t Evolution Produce wildebeest with wheels or plants with an automatic rifle?

However, Charles Darwin stated: “From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

He did not discuss whether animals with wheels were possible or even plants with a semi-automatic rifle.

Evolution exists because living things vary: each member of a species is subtly different to every other one, and the ones best suited to their environment because more common – according to the Darwinian myth. 

But this could also be answered by It is because the Creator did not think that was necessary
