> What I find issue with here is how you would determine the difference between the pressure of selection and the driving of DNA. At what point can you say that evolution is happening by one process or the other? To me it seems it creates a chicken and egg scenario. In order for your idea to be tenable, you really need to be able to show that the process of speciation happens without some event to force the hand. -I'm sure there are always challenges; they may not be obviously external but biochemically internal, finding better, more economical ways to do things. For example, our brain uses less energy to produce electricity than in squids.-http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17773-brain-cells-slicker-than-we-thought.html-> I just can't find a teleology for life.-My guess is that we were created as a challenge to us. Can we figure out how the creator did it? Where do we get our driving inquisitiveness about everything? Look at me trying to guess where, if anywhere, I am going. )
