Misconceptions of Christian theology

[Aractus]

Oh dear, you completely missed the point I was making.(either that or you're deliberately trying to steer the conversation in a different direction).

The ability of a zebra to outrun other zebras merely illustrates my point that the main competition isn't between predator and prey. If it was the race would be over in very short order.

Your so-called observations don't apply in the real world. For instance why does the Queen Bee still function as a bee, how come evolution didn't make it a stationary form unable to fly and less burdensome on the hive? Shouldn't it have stopped evolving and resemble whatever bees evolved from more than its fellow "worker" bees?

BTW what's better for the individual does nothing to help the species as a whole. Why do you think penguins huddle to keep warm? The "selfish gene" would want to be the penguin in the middle that never goes to the outside of the huddle, that would be the best way to survive, that should win out in competing against the rest of the penguins, shouldn't it? Yet what we consistently observe is that every penguin selflessly spends the same amount of time on the outside in the freezing cold as every other one, so much for the selfish gene! There are forces at play that counteract "selfish" behaviour of individuals.

You have the extreme selfish behaviour seen in the Cuckoo bird - as soon as it is born, and while it's still blind, the chick will push all the other eggs out of the nest and then even push any other chicks out of the nest too!
