Nah, they're just being "naturally selected." Just like everyone who died in 9/11.

If it's not one god it's another.

You should thank Darwin every day you weren't "naturally selected."

But I was...so were you.

I think that would be more like "random drift" then "natural selection". Natural selection is selective pressure from more pervasive trends (like say global warming). Random drift is what happens when a freak one shot occurrence alters the gene pool by chance. It generally requires a small population however.
