Back to metaphor, again. A car pool isn't a pool and it isn't made of cars.
You can have fun objecting to the language all you like....but if that's what you're going to do, find better objections.
Yes, there's a gene pool, not a metaphoric gene pool...the actual stock of all genetic material. Yes, that stock undergoes a process of change over time. Not a metaphoric process, a literal process of change. Yes, we've seen it, can demonstrate it, and have documented it. Now, tell me more about metaphors and how you object to metaphors, because that's relevant.................

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!
