I'm either completely missing your point or have no idea what I'm talking about.-See my previous answer. If you include all the chance occurrances in environment and mutations as part of natural selection then I can see your point of view. But as I have said, I view it as a passive end point. What is active are the chance stressors and the ability of the genome to survive by change or by being intitially superior at the time of the new stressor.
