assistant: I suffer some quiet-ish irritation when a term is turned loose
     to mean something that it does not mean to most of whom it is
     intended to describe .....I'm working to be better about it!
    I believe that "natural selection" is a gross oversimplification of
    a much more involved process, both technical and motivational. My
    "AGENDA", includes "natural selection"  but is not "LIMITED" by it.
    With your broad (seeming) unfettered views,  It is a reach for me
    to grasp your willingness to nudge near such narrow limitations.
    ..........Negotiable!!!
     Not as yet so clear to me in among the "realities"  of the
     likely limited human experience. Seeing life as a game, we
     can PLAY the "contributions" ...! Like any game, a looser is
     created and nature is made to GRIN her widest (this is Her game).
     My selfish saneless curiosity is more "BENT" <g> to escaping
     her pheromonish mind hold on us (at least for some few
     unreasonable "MOMENTS".)
       Sposssed to be bent legs <ggg>
    ....or the wrong set that might even be the better choice!
     In as much as "strata of knowings" are still subject more to
     denied poetry than Aryan brilliance, I cannot find fault with
     your "TRINITY" as contemplated. Even I like to forgive God!
     Glad you have a few warts,,,,,,makes me feel less lonely!
