It is natural selection.
And mutations come from where? You must support intelligent design.


Mutations come from errors in DNA replication. But this mostly happened a while ago, now evolution mostly selects already existing traits.
Its why most vertibrates have a similar basic structure, even when it dosen't really work that well but it works well enough. I am thinking of the female pelvic girdle and the human back bone which are both sufficient for their role are not actually very good.

Whether they are needed to survive or not, or are imperative, if the only qualities which exist are biological, then the set of non-biological qualities is empty, and your assertion is empty and false.

What qualities are you suggesting are not biological? Your statement seems to imply a dualism, whether property or substance. Are you a property or substance dualist?

Yes, I am suggesting that there are qualities that human possess that aren't biological - and biological here refers to "of genetic origin". I regard human qualities related to consciousness - such as capacity to reason, sentience etc. - as non-biological in nature, even though I do accept that their mode of operation if biological. And no, this does not imply substance dualism.

Are you thinking that books and the internet can be thought of as an extension of human memory?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
