Again And Again: It’s Culture That Drives Evolution
Not Occasional Genetic Accidents

Re “Spontaneous speciation?”

Again and again:

A. Earth’s primal organisms, Genes, and their take-offs, all Earth organisms, are temporary energy packages. The more of them there are the more enhanced is the biosphere, Earth’s life, Earth’s storage of temporarily constrained energy. This Is Nature’s Drive And Purpose Of Life. This Is The Origin, The Drive, The Archetype, Of Selected Modes Of Survival.

“Origin Of Origins”
Earth Life is but one specimen of myriad of materials being formed and attempting to survive for temporarily constraining energy. This is the essence of the ongoing Big Bang.

You start off with this which is unproven and doesn't match anyone's experience in the world: This is evolution; the gradual genetic change and adaptation of beings over the course of generations to a more perfect form for their environment. 2. And then you go to something that's trivial and nobody argues against and certainly doesn't prove that fruit flies change into a more perfect form: As for belief, anyone with a jar full of fruit flies can witness evolution in their own kitchen. 3. And then that's the extent of your logic? I'm sure you're impressed with your own intelligence but I'm sorry to say you haven't really shown much depth of thought. 1.
