   So you accept evolution as a process that does exist, as implied there?  I   
   think it's pretty bogus myself, it tries to run water uphill when it's   
   content just sitting in a pond.   
      
   Sure, what needs to live dies, the need itself impels the conclusion.   
      
   Unfortunately the conclusion drawn from the conclusion is that the most-fit   
   survive, when maybe it's the most-fit who most strive, leaving the losers   
   behind them... the more-evolved, so to speak.  I could see that, it seems   
   more-evolved to get a high draft-number than a low draft-number, if you see   
   it that way.   
      
   Otherwise... who cares what happens over twelve zillion years, breakfast is   
   where it's at.  The world is after all a small place that revolves around   
   each of us in a spinning circle fit to dizzy the most evolved of us,   
   breakfast, lunch, dinner, sleep, breakfast, lunch...
