No. Natural selection is simply one of the most popular screening processes in which evolution occurs. It is nothing more than a naturally-occuring selective pressure on a species. The existance of artificial selection should be enough to show that natural selection is not tautological.
​
Hi Stile. Void of intelligence, what is the source of selective pressure on the species, especially in the early stages of it's existence?
​
As observed in the world, nothing trends towards complexity, design or improvement aside from intelligent pressure. Left to itself, nothing trends towards advancement in design.

Re: A bit of a base to work from
Mmm, Coragyps, would you mind translating this into compatibility to layman's understanding?

Re: A bit of a base to work from
Stay on topic??
​
1. If you have a problem with a message, there's a forum thread to address that problem, so you're the one off topic here.
2. I asked for clarification of Coragyps's message. Are you inferring that Coragyps's message is off topic??
