You're getting old, Snailie. You seem to think that brainless verbatim quotes with bits in tendentious red can make a case. Why, anyone can do that. Dear boy, that is no substitute for proper argument. The point here is that you haven't adequate brain-power to interpret the passages you quote with sufficient clarity. It really is quite simple, and a re-reading of your quoted passage, this time with the intent of comprehending it properly, will tell you that natural selection operates on heritable traits. Natural selection operates on heritable traits. Natural selection operates on heritable traits.

Not on individuals and not on races and not on species. Individuals and species and the bloody planet may well be impacted, tangentially, by that operation, but natural selection hasn't got those goals. Only ignorant neo-Darwinists and fascists think that. It operates purely on heritable traits. The rest may well follow, and, of course, it does. But if we're talking about how natural selection operates, it pays to focus and get to the nitty-gritty, not just argue for the sake of it cos Steve sez one thing, you big kid, yeah?
