re: #1060 Emphasis

From time to time I post this message in the hope that everyone think about it.

“I think about evolution and creationism and I don’t find any difficulty in accepting both. Probably I am not as smart as all of those that are dogmatic in their beliefs. There are things that I would love for someone to explain to me. For example:

If the instinct for self-preservation is a predominant if not the predominant one in the animal world, why do the female of the species becomes pregnant? You would think that you make your life so much harder, especially if like in most examples the female is the one that has to raise them feed them and protect them. However, they appear to be imprinted with the need to carry out that function, even though it is obvious it affects them in a negative way. It would then seem that this drive is imprinted in them, like a computer program. The question then is who was the programmer?”

Ummm, think about this. A species that did not want to reproduce wouldn’t and would quickly become extinct, while a species that loved reproducing would spam itself all over the place….

That is a major part of how evolution actually works.
