Based on previous discussions, I knew that proponent of evolution such as yourself would typically ignore the core concept of the argument and rely on some red herring tricks and irrelevant semantics in a trial to cause distraction. That is why I specifically clarified the intended meaning of the word “Perfection” in my post # 2460 but I'm going to elaborate further to avoid any confusion.

The meaning of “Perfection” in this context is with respect to successful achievement of the purpose or necessary intrinsic quality of having the ability to survive/persist and reproduce within an environment.
Here are some defining characteristics of such organism that must exist as a prerequisite before any evolutionary process would be possible:
- An organism that is already alive and can persist/stay alive within its specific environment.
- An organism that has all vital systems/life processes essentially required to allow the organism to stay alive/survive within an environment.
- An organism that has the ability to interact with its environment to maintain a flow of nutrients to obtain required energy for self-sustenance, growth and persistence within its environment.
- An organism that has the ability to reproduce and pass gradual slow changes to offspring and continue to persist for generations to allow for slow accumulation of gradual changes in subsequent future generation.
These are the necessary characteristics of the organism that must exist first as a
prerequisite. None of these characteristics can be excluded. As I previously clarified in #2460,
it's an organism that has all functional vital systems/life processes essentially required to allow the organism to survive, grow, reproduce, and pass slow gradual changes to offspring. Otherwise, no evolutionary process of any kind would be possible.
Evolution is allegedly a very gradual and slow process over a very long time and requires many generations before any changes may accumulate. Without such living organism as clarified above, there is nothing to evolve.
- If the organism is missing any of the vital systems that are required to enable the organism to be alive and persist within its specific environment, it can neither be alive nor evolve.
- If the organism is not capable of obtaining energy and nutrients within its specific environment, it will neither survive nor evolve.
- If the organism cannot reproduce and pass gradual slow changes to offspring, then no evolutionary process is possible.
An organism with the defining characteristics as clarified above is absolutely necessary as a prerequisite before any evolutionary process of any kind may take place, if the perquisite is not possible, the evolutionary process is not possible.
“Perfection” in this context is simply to have the necessary intrinsic qualities/abilities to be alive/stay alive, grow and successfully reproduce/persist within an environment. Any organism of any kind that achieves this purpose is a perfect organism.
