the more chromosomes the longer you have been in the evolutionary tree. mosquito's have 7 we have 46 that makes us scientifically older. fact says impossible.Like (1)

Because its a good design and it doesn't need more than 7 to work and it's strategy is to basically mass produce itself and accept that 99% of them won't live long enough to reproduce. It is evolutionary spam.
Humans on the other hand work on a different strategy.Like (1)

at least you didn't jump on the high horse.what you have said is true, a insignificant insect chose to stay as it was created, not through evolution but by design. i just like annoying the anti creationists, by firing there own facts at then to prove them wrong. then watching them try to evolve

I'm not sure a mosquito chooses anything especially the long term path of it's evolution.

Evolution is not ba
sed on anything of the sort. There is not guiding principle. It's just the fact that species change very, very slightly with every generation, and over time that leads to new species. The direction of the change is determined by environment.
Mosquitos have thrived with 7 chromosomes, so they haven't evolved in the same direction we have.Like (1)

Darwin would disagree with your answer, i put it to you for all of mans years of war, why are we not bulletproof.if one lizard could evolve to swim when its neighbor chose to starve. thus was the origin of Darwinism.

We're not bulletproof 'cause evolution doesn't work that way. You'd have to shoot everyone in a specific, contained population once per generation for... say tens of thousands of years and let the survivors breed for that population to evolve a response to gunshot wounds.

They're all younger than us... They have a very short lifespan.
