Intelligent design type evolution vs naturalism type evolution.

RE: Intelligent design type evolution vs naturalism type evolution.
It doesn't have to, it merely needs to survive. However, there are plenty of ways that a gene might piggyback on the success of things entirely unrelated. Consider a patch of grass and weeds growing in a small right angled box (like a coldframe). Those organisms that get more sunlight (due to shade from the box structure) or moisture (due to overhead cover from the box structure) will have their genetics more widely represented in generations of the future than their unfortunately shaded and sheltered brothers and sisters. Their genetics didn't have to factor in, no advantage had to be possessed or expressed by them. They simply had to survive.

In the case of flagellum and motile ability - specifically, once you can move...you tend to do better than shit that can't - and that's how that adaptation would present itself. Even if all the mutations leading up to it were benign, but ultimately not conferring any specific advantage.
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!
