<First of all, the phrase 'survival of the fittest' is an idea of Herbert Spencer, not Charles Darwin.> Yes, Darwin left more room for 'god' or intelligence than most realize. My point is simply that most (even scientists) project a 'reason' for evolution albeit many think 'random'. <Certainly it seems that the changes in lifeforms have led to more complexity and interdependance> And awareness <, and if that is how you define progress ...> I don't know if you need to define anything... but it does happen... as to the question of 'meaning' of it, I think the universe answers the question of 'is there meaning' at least, since man has long assigned 'meaning' to things. Since we are of the universe, perceived meaning exists in the universe... the perceived meaning of evolution seems to have no concensus at this time... at least on this board. -ggg- DAK
