Quote:Because different species compete against each other in nature, they don't compete against themselves.
Wrong. Populations compete against themselves, as do individuals and species. In the end, howerver, competition doesn't matter. What matters is who lives long enough to have offsprings and who doesn't.
Quote:Right, well with that attitude we never would have found out what a fractal is even though we'd been looking at them and calling them "organic shapes" for eons.
Why not? I've simply stated how evolution works in general. The specific details probably need to studied more.
You need to produce detailed, relevant evidence that this "mysterious force" exists before we start taking it seriously. What you have done so far is present some supposed "flaws" of the theory of evolution that have been explained several times by scientists far more successful and qualified than you or me.
Quote:You still need a chemical as versatile as Carbon. And carbon is incredibly versatile.
In our universe. In an universe with different physical laws maybe another elements would be as versatile as carbon.
I'm not saying that life (or a substitute thereof) would pop up in any possible universe, I'm just saying that our universe is not as special as you think it is.
