Natural Selection..... what are your opinions on it?

Answer 1

i think that it makes sense. we all have extra "things" in our body that we do not need. like our tonsils for example, it is not necessary for us to have tonsils but it keeps us from getting sick. or male peacocks and their long feathers, it slows them down from predators but it is a proven fact that it helps them mate and reproduce.

Answer 2

You're liable to get a lot of controversial answers because this is a "hot button" topic.I am a scientist; I think there is a lot of evidence for the theory of evolution of which natural selection is a vital part. But I think it is premature to call it a natural law like the law of gravity or 2nd law of thermodynamics.I think the reason a lot of scientists do consider it such a law is more due to a psychological reaction formation from the zealous efforts of the faith based creationists to get their anti-evolutionary views taught in public schools. The reason they do this is due to the hopelessness of pure reductionist materialism of much of science to satisfy the questions of "why we are?" and "what are we to do?" Clergymen too teach that their views are absolute and the ultimate answer to these questions which doesn't fit with many people's experiences. I would like to quote a well known scientists view on DNA and the cell, the blueprint for life and the basic building block of all living things respectively.

"If a cell is the orchestra and DNA the score, who or what conducts?" Dr. Franklin M. Harold goes on to say, "My colleagues in molecular science seem determined to ascribe that role also to the genome....I find that attribution unbelievable". I do too.
