nope but you believing in evolution shows how easy it is to brainwash people with obvious nonsense.

Uh, the alternative is believing that an invisible sky man did it.

Brainwashed, eh?

No. As a product of evolution, anything we do is part of the process.

the other half of that equation is giving their offspring the best shot at life they can...and that certainly ain't the case right now.

Assuming you mean the financial sacrifices we are making, then this is a severe misunderstanding of the process of natural selection. You seem to think that evolution is forward-thinking, and that simply is not the case. Natural selection doesn't act on the next generation, only the current breeding-age (and younger) one.

Those most likely to survive are most likely to breed. That's it. Evolution has no goals, no ideal forms. If you think that what we are doing is "fighting" evolution, then so is planning for our kids' future. If some dipshit kid is given an "artificial" advantage in life due to a large inheritance, isn't that fricking with natural selection, too?

But, again, I wouldn't take the term "natural selection" too literally. Because, by virtue of the fact that we are part of the natural world, anything we do can be considered natural. And whether we end up as some weak form that can't survive without technology, or practically superhuman, or if we kill ourselves off, in either case evolution will have occurred, and naturally so.

You mean loose
