<<Is evolution a law that looks to the longterm, or is it a short termexpression (or hindsight retelling of)of self interest? >> LOL.....Unfortunately not only don't I have an answer [but you knew that.....I hope ] but I don't even have a clue. If there is a purpose behind evolution then ........then it all makes sense. At least that there is a meaning to life. What would that meaning be ? Are humans and our vaunted intelligence somehow the crown of creation? .........I'm not so sure of that. It appears that without the catastrophe that destroyed the empire of the dinosaurs [a chance event ? ] intelligence has no standing. It seems the seeds of intelligence that our primate ancestors carried were no competition for the advantages of being a dinosaur. Unless you believe that the demise of the dinosaurs is a result of divine intervention ....... Where does this leave us....?? With a God that sent an asteroid hurling toward the earth to wipe out the evil dinosaur empire? [That his system created inna first place] Or a God that would have allowed evolution to create some sort of super [although small brained ] dinosaur as it's crowning creation?
