Agreed.

And what the heck is nsync implying with 'natural selections' (plural)?

As if an agency is working full time making natural selections?

Darwin:
t may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinising, throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and insensibly working, whenever and wherever opportunity offers, at the improvement of each organic being in relation to its organic and inorganic conditions of life.

1. Darwin founded the theory of evolution he's no longer the prime authority in the field. The theory has improved since then.
2. You apparently have a problem with metaphorical language, 'cause that's what he's using here, metaphors.
