Evolution fits well into choice 2 unfolding. Some say everything is evolution and that the universe is nothing but evolution. Is that really true?
It is difficult to grasp what you are trying to say; as has been pointed out to you the Theory of Evolution is a law of biology and has nothing to do with the cosmos. Everything "evolves"; as in"changes"; but not everything that "changes" that can be crammed into the dictionary definition of "evolve" or "evolution" fits into the "Theory of Evolution". We're talking 2 different languages; if that make sense.
I'm sure in the early days, survival of the fittest played an important role in the development of people and animals. This leads to the question: Is evolution really all there is? After all with mankind's humanity, the fittest are not the only ones surviving today.
What do you mean, "all there is?" I don't understand what you are trying to say.
"Survival of the Fittest" is a bastardization of Darwin's theories, made popular by Herbert Spencer; and the phrase was
first used by him. When Darwin used the phrase later, he meant it as 'that which is
most fit for its environment". So if a "less powerful" species coexists with a
more powerful species in an environment that is detrimental to the more powerful species, odds are that the more powerful species will succumb to that environment and the less powerful species will continue on.
You are confabulating a lot of stuff; please separate Theory of Evolution from Cosmology from Social Darwinism. Understanding those three things will go a long way in expanding your horizons and understanding.
As we look around us we see there is a process of unfolding going on. People are created from a few cells to grow into a person. Animals go through this same process. Plants and trees unfold from tiny seeds into massive complex structures.
This is not Evolution. This is the biological process of growth. I also want to point out that there is no rule, law, expectation or principle in ToE that stipulates a population
must become "more complex" or "more" ...
anything.
I think that science has allowed us to peer into the amazing processes involved in life. And the deeper science peers, the less likely it becomes that such amazing design simply sprang undirected into being, and undirected, produced the staggering and awe inspiring life forms that fill the earth. As Michael Behe opined about recent discoveries of the human cell, what is being discovered “is a loud, clear, piercing cry of ‘design!’” So life was not "poofed" into existence, IMO, nor is there any convincing evidence that life evolved. Rather, the evidence clearly proves to me a grand Creator, with unimaginable power and unfathomable intelligence, designed and constructed life in all it's forms.
Logical fallacy of agenticity. There is no evidence of design or a designer. There is only evidence for ToE.
Here is a more logical choice for you.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then God said, "Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals. Everything God created reproduces its same kind from its own seed.
So, spontaneous generation through an unprovable deity is "logical"?
There is too much evidence all around us for random chance to create it all.
That's because you don't understand.
Perhaps genetic engineering when it advances enough will get evolution back on track.
Back on track to "what"? To insinuate "back on track" you insinuate that evolution has a "plan" or "goal" or "final outcome" in mind. As there is no path, track, plan, goal, expected outcome, etc, there is no "track" for Evolution to follow; except that biological organism
will evolve.
Fittest doesn't mean strongest or healthiest. Survival of the fittest means more like survival of the populations with features enabling them able to bring the most offspring to breeding age. Evolution works on populations.
Humans are an oddity, as technological advances spread immediately through the population, allowing 'defective' individuals to thrive.
Well spoken; thank you.
