Quote:No, that's called a fucking assumption, numbnuts. DNA is incredibly versatile and allows creatures to adapt to their environments just fine without the need for changing it. The assumption made by those who pushed the "survival of the fittest" point of view was that DNA was rigid, which it isn't. As we have now learned so much more about DNA since the view was first suggested it seems less and less likely that the "survival of the fittest" is a strong enough mechanism to drive DNA, and some estimates as to its power to contribute to evolution overall at about 2 or 3% of the total effect of Evolution - ie, it works too slow and not efficiently enough to be a primary driving factor in Evolution.
You are wrong, not even Darwin at his time and without knowledge of genetics ever said that evolution is the survival of the fittest:
