Evolution and natural selection ARE the gods of this world!

RE: Evolution and natural selection ARE the gods of this world!
No, it doesn't want anything either. I think the distinction is important because formulating any such "will" of evolution will usually be to simple and not work as a general explanation. For example, in sexual selection there are adaptations which reduce the fitness in the sense of strength and ability to escape predators, and only bring an advantage when it comes to mating preference. Any explanation like "evolution wants stronger, better" etc. is not subtle enough.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
