Evolution is a side effect of organisms competing for resources. Any difference between two organisms will become significant if that difference provides an advantage in mating or finding food or avoiding danger. It's "survival of the {best fit for the current circumstances}": Slightly longer legs (better for running away), more drab colouration (better for hiding in the underbrush), and so on. The loser dies; the winner mates, and the advantage is passed on to the offspring. That's all evolution really is: A tendency for slight improvements to propagate to the next generation.

Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?” –SHIRLEY CHISHOLM
Perhaps you should make a new thread op, something like- is rationality true?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This actually makes a lot of sense. Do you think its possible that evolution can apply to non-life as well. If evolution only applies to life (mutations only apply to life) do you think that is strange? Why would evolution under the guise of another process maybe -not apply to non-life as well? What makes you think that matter turns into life and only then does evolution begin? The universe is there in the beginning, matter is there in the beginning, so why cannot evolution be there in the beginning? |
