Do you think that you and I disagree on some substantive
point?

Let me ask you the following which is my answer to you:

What is the true meaning of the following:
1) Survival of the fittest. (Note that I never said SoF is a
tautology.)
2) You Friar Broccoli have a green light.

Think a bit about this.....

Hmmm, as I see things here,

- I don't like talking about linguistic distinctions

- You don't like talking about physical reality (or maybe you
just don't want to tell us what you believe - or something
like that)

So I wonder if we can make a deal here:

I will work out and present an answer that I like to your
question: "What does 'Survival of the fittest' mean?",

if you will agree to tell me something about what you believe,
specifically beginning with:

Do you accept the reality of the tree of common descent which
includes things like - modern whales are descendants of a common
non-whale ancestor?


Note, that I am willing to go first, if you will agree that you
will provide me with a clear answer to my question in your very
next post to me.

Is that arrangement acceptable to you?

Cordially;

Friar Broccoli
