Re: A scientific theory against God and morality

This sounds like you want to disagree with something but I'm not sure
what. What do you think the logic is then? Differential reproductive
success means having more descendants than something else. Any which
way it works for organisms to reproduce is just fine if it produces
viable descendants. If they reproduce their species lives on. If they
don't, they go extinct. If genetic variation makes some individuals of
the species more likely to reproduce, eventually that genetic variant
will become more dominant in the population and when these changes
accumulate the species may change. I don't see any problem with this.

The point of natural selection theory should be to explain the forms of
organisms. You can't do that when you start the logic with being better
at reproduction than another. You have to start the logic with
preservation of form through reproduction.

When you start the logic with being better at reproduction as another,
you end up with superior organisms that have a will to reproduce.

When you start the logic with preservation through reproduction, you
end up with essentially passive organisms that are shaped by the event
of reproduction.
