Noemi Durán - How Natural is Natural Selection?
According to the Darwinian theory, natural selection is the cause of all biodiversity and the engine of evolution. Natural selection is based on the struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. It is an essentially selfish process in which the main motivation of organisms is to leave more offspring than others, regardless of the means. However, when we observe nature this is not what we find. Although there is a certain degree of competition and conflict, ecosystems function due to the interdependence between different organisms, and animal societies abound with examples of cooperation, empathy and altruism. According to the materialistic worldview, these behaviors are inexplicable or involve some kind of hidden selfishness. Yet, for the Bible-believing Christian they are clear clues to the veracity of the biblical account of origins, remnants of God's original plan for his creation that sin could not erase.
