It is not about survival of the fittest. It is any advantage that allows the organism to live long enough to breed and pass on its advantage.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you want that information, it's still a free country. Go out and look for it if you really want to know. Also, you negated any validity your argument might have had in stating that survival of the fittest is an out-dated concept. The entire evolutionary theory is based off of natural selection. What do you think that is?
They certainly appear to breed idiots where you are from and ignorant ones at that.
Natural selection does not apply anymore, and I'm not too sure if it ever did with us humans. I don't know what rock you have conveniently placed over your head, but where I come from, the idiots thrive and multiply, while those that are intelligent are kept out of the equation.
You really are a rude and angry little chap arent you.

Is there a blockage in your brain or is my meaning just not getting through to you? Survival of the fittest = natural selection = survival of those that have evolved specific traits which enable them to propogate more widely than those who predated them, causing their population to swell, while the predecessor's population dwindles due to competition between the two for food. .edit on 28/3/2012 by xXxinfidelxXx because: (no reason given)
Here's your explanation which you have already been given by others. Evolution explains the forces and mechanisms that drives evolution in all life. We, The human race are animals. We are part of that life.
Explain to me how those three theories which are one in the same apply to the human race and you might redeem yourself, but to me right now you just seem like you want your version of events to be true so badly that you don't care what logic is presented against it. Thanx though, I was in need of a laugh. Also, others might tell you the same (just wish they would), but my argument is ship-shape, while yours is leaking like a sieve at the moment. Got any more base insults for me to rebuff? I can do this all day
Yes and if you try to listen to what they have to say instead of spitting your dummy out you may learn something.

Yes, I might learn something, but you on the other hand, are obviously incapable of doing such a thing. Can't pour water into a jar that's already full of crap you know.

See that's the problem with people like you (I guess this thread has alot of you), when anyone disagrees with you, you just assume that they don't know what you do. You assume that my knowledge on the topic is incomplete, and meanwhile I have spent pretty much my entire adult life researching anything I can get my hands on, and that includes Darwin's papers and lot's of mediocre pro-evolution papers. I have formed my opinion using all points of view available to me, while people like you draw from only one perspective. If you see no credence to my argument than you also have no ability to think outside of the norms that were crammed down your throat and therefore, as I have told others on this thread, your opinion is next to worthless to me as a result of this. I'm sorry if you don't wanna peek past the curtain, but that's your fault, not mine. This website was created with challenging the norms and mistruths of society and has de-evolved into a stomping ground for dogmatic chest-thumpers like you and others on this thread. How's that for a theory of evolution, whiskey delta. Honestly if I saw anything on this thread that told me anything other than the crap that I've already heard arguments for and against through my research, I would be right on it, but all I see is the same circular logic over and over again. I mean seriously, why are you here in the first place, to reaffirm your falsely-perceived superiority over everyone that disagrees with your point of view? If that is the case, I feel sad for you, as your life is going to be even more lonely than mine is. Being the smartest guy in the room has nothing to do with superiority, it has everything to do with isolation, though. Just look for the guy hiding in the corner of a room filled with people jabbering. That's me. You are obviously one of the jabberers. See? Intelligent insults are way more fun than just calling someone ignorant.edit on 28/3/2012 by xXxinfidelxXx because: (no reason given)
