Was homo-erectus much stronger than the average human now days. Was even before homo-erectus stronger and before that stronger. Are we evolving in to physically weaker animals?

Probably not. How would you measure the difference, if any?

Our populations are simply adapting to our environments. Indoor living requires less physical effort, so there is that tendency, but selection pressures are very light and perhaps even absent.

Well, we've been sending strong and relatively healthy people off to war, and many did not return to make babies. Society forces us to spend time with computers instead of walking

It depends who you are comparing too. For example will a cave man in the early days defeat UFC Heavyweight contender Francis Singano in a fight? Probably not. But a cave man can defeat a member at the gueek squad at Best buy.
