This is going to be a brief one. I just have a thought that I want to get out. Oh, and it is not particularly well-developed by my standards. Enough with the disclaimer...
Evolution as a theory of survival of the fittest and such, I have to admit, is something that can not be proven by current science, though I am confident that it is a fact of nature. The process of evolution is so firmly ingrained into my understanding of the world that it seems unfathomable, no matter how deep your faith, that it could possibly not exist.
Baseball experiences evolution. As the game progresses, it the strategies and quality of players is constantly improving to meet the increased demands that are placed upon them. They are chasing a moving target though. Perfection is unattainable because its definition is always changing. This is the essence of how Charles Darwin describes the process of natural selection in living things.
Politics and political strategies evolve in much the same way. A savvy move of yesteryear is seen as old hat these days. And yet, there is always room to improve because our aim gets higher and higher. Education is the same. We try to cram extra information into the brains of our children before their 18th birthday and it does not work. College is no longer an option to give a person a more worldly view. It is necessary to complete the education process. Same with everything concerning computers. And vacuum cleaners. And fake sugar products. And baby strollers. And genetically modified foods. And, well, everything else too.
Evolution is not just a theory of natural selection. It is a fact of life. It is clearly present in everything else. How could it not be the driving engine behind nature?
