The statements in my April 24 posting were conclusions from a study I had just completed of Darwin's natural selection theory, as presented in Origin. Although I did not state that fact in the April 24 posting (but did in the May 2 one) a perceptive person would have (a) recognized the statements as conclusions, (b) realized that I must have worked out a rationale for the statements, and (c) understood the obvious fact that I had omitted that rationale because of space limitations. Your comments, however, presume that you know what reasoning/evidence I would use to support the statements; what a preposterous umption on your part! As if you are a mind reader.
Granted that the statements are somewhat ambiguous because the rationale behind them has not been presented. Yet you have refused to recognize this truism, and have offered knee-jerk comments that evince little understanding of the statements--or of Origin, for that matter: evidently you are trapped in conventional thinking about Darwin's theory. And if that's not enough, you are insulting and lacking in civility. This exchange has gone nowhere (it hasn't evolved!), therefore I will make no further comments to you.
