Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create... Neo-Darwinists say that new species emerge when mutations occur and modify an organism. I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change [which] led to new species. I believed it until I looked for evidence.

All scientists agree that evolution has occurred - that all life comes from a common ancestry, that there has been extinction, and that new taxa, new biological groups, have arisen. The question is, is natural selection enough to explain evolution? Is it the driver of evolution?

Natural selection is anything but random.

We have stopped natural selection from purifying the species because deep in our heart of hearts, we are all terrified that we won't make the cut.

Ideas percolate. Through natural selection, the best ones survive.
