Re: application of evolution
But all of your desires are not what nature has deemed best for your survival. Desires are not constant due to evolutionary changes I suppose. And instances of desires are never always there so when a society changes desires open up and close. So this inconsistency does not go well with the constancy of nature, as nature is rather constant, generally enough.

Re: application of evolution
Well I doubt that nature would allow for humanity to turn on nature.

And I doubt nature is self aware of its effects on us to have intentions for what you deem as the best path for survival.

In terms of survival the ****roach could survive the ice age, and has survived many threats.

Re: application of evolution
OntheWindowStand, Sorry to bypass you. I'm not giving credit on the point you or Holiday has made. In point of fact i don't agree with it. I'm complementing Holiday for his clear and concise delivery of his point.
