Mq: Nice quote: >>I liked this part <...The popular understanding, probably shared in unguarded moments by academic evolutionists though they know better, is that Evolution is a force propelling life toward greater perfection. We speak of ourselves as Higher Primates, for example, though in terms of adaptation to environment we are inferior to tape worms and roaches. Popular evolution is suffused with a progress toward desired ends here that cannot be derived from the physics: Bang, gas, planets, trilobites, Los Angeles. ...><< A little dense, but the point is that most people get evolution dead wrong. Evolution is not a process of linear progress moving towards ever greater perfection. It is nothing more than a pointless random walk of adaptation to environment. Nor is it the organism that matters (i.e us). We are just ambulatory bags of sea water that have proven convenient to the survival and reproduction of our DNA.
