Survival of the Fittest wasn't created by Darwin (his finches weren't killing each other like the Vedas [or The Bhagavad Gita specifically] tell people to). The phrase was coined by Herbert Spencer who obviously didn't know much about Evolution nor Science since he was simply a writer and philosopher who was "educated" on empiricism by his "Methodist then later Quaker" father and on "pre-Darwinian concepts of biological evolution" by the "Derby Philosophical Society". Most notably on ideas form Charles Darwin's father, Erasmus Darwin.

Vishnu should find something more productive to do with his meaningless time than push destructive lies, falsities, and ignorance forward.

LOL you are seriously supporting "Vedānta" instead of Evolution?

He is very likely Eusie's twin, separated at birth. All the hallmarks of intractable, deliberate obtuseness are there.
Oh I see. Spreading misinformation about their enemies is the tried and true tactic of Money- and Donation-collecting Religions.

Yes, they definitely embrace the Fable of the Little Chemicals that Yearn to Survive.

A case study of pure, unadulterated anthromoporphism. Guess what, not only do chemicals long to survive, buy they mourn the passing of other chemicals. Very touching.

I forgot. Darwin came up with the Fable that chemicals naturally want to survive. ROFL.

Well, well, well.

Now if the scientists who were behind the theories that allowed you to transmit electrons to me through processes you don't understand worked on faith rather than on build on theories, you and I would have to communicate by smoke signals or homing pigeons.

Do you have ANY idea how a scientific theory works?

Let me see .... we aren't supposed to believe in Creative Intelligence, which is EVERYWHERE IN LIFE, but we are suppose to believe in chemicals that long to survive. Interesting.

He is a lost cause and can only bang his gavel in promotion of his personal self-created illusion.

He does not understand one single thing about Evolution. You should have heard him destroy the Evolution thread over in the Philosophy forum.

Don't waste your time...it's no different than trying do discuss Evolution with a staunch creationist who has no understanding about how Evolution works.

He loves to derail threads with his anthropomorphic views about DNA and chemicals. If fact just hop over the the now closed thread in the Philosophy thread and you will find the same exact words that he is posting here. This is just rinse and repeat time for him.

It's truly bizarre.

Cases in point above, evolution says none of that "yearning" stuff that Religionists are used to.

Matadora, it's just the death throes of the trolls at this point, desperately wishing to be fed so that they can muster some more energy.

Ah yes. To the rescue. I stand corrected. DNA longs to survive. They also fall in love and cry when other DNA due. Such is the theology of Darwinism. And it's all Natural!
