I really don't want to start an argument about evolution, but isn't all
nature based on the survival of the fittest? If I did not believe this,
then I could not bear the cruel way nature does away with imperfect species.
Life makes sense only if it has a reason - survival. And does not survival
mean that only the fittest should survive?
