No, it is reproductive advantage.

@Setanta,
Yes but its death that gives that advantage. Is death the hand of the invisible god of the creator of forms to the design best suited to the event. Death then is the timeless forming hand of god.

Maybe you should put more tobacco with it?

Could it be that death or nothing is controling something in the event.

Essentially, then, you didn't want an answer to your question, you wanted people to confirm your hypothesis, to confirm your premise. That's what is known as a leading question, a "have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife" question. I'm sorry that you wasted my time.

Death is not the mechanism of evolution, and that statement is not a matter of opinion. Instead of taking wild shots in the dark, why don't you buckle down and actually learn something about the subject.

@Setanta,
No evolution is a mechanism of death as what is beond death is what presented the life. God is beond death so its god as death thats presenting the evolved forms. No death no evolution. It was death that made man from an ameba and death is god.

@martinies,
Your bizarre theistic fantasies not only have no relevance to evolution, they make no sense. You can entertain any loonyness you please, but be prepared for people not to take you seriously.

@martinies,
Your thesis is meaningful only if the process of "evolution" is deemed to be "the purpose" of a creative entity you choose to call "God". But since evolution requires no "purpose" and indeed displays so much wasteful (if not criminal) effort on the part of a hypothetical "intelligent creator" the thesis can be assigned to the semantic scrap heap already overflowing with other religious ad hoc -ary.

@fresco,
Ok if there is a god that god would be both life and death moving and unmoving in terms of time and space and at one in the same time local and nonlocal to the event.so if there is such a god and there might be . That god would be death in the happening local event sculpturing forms of happening local life by means of nonlocal death.

@martinies,
As an atheist I don't need a concept of "God", which I take believers to have constructed in order to explain/account for what they call "inexplicable events" .But the demarcation of such "events" has no foundation outside of human purposes. In short there are no "events" without observers who evoke them, nor indeed do concepts of "time" and "space" have meaning independent of such observers. Your "God of the gaps" fails to take into account that the gaps are also human constructions (or failures to construct). as is the filler which shores them up.

I note your interest elsewhere in "frontier science" but you don't seem to be aware that the realism/anti-realism debate in science gas become something of a sterile philosophical backwater.

@fresco,
The great wall of china which can be seen from outer space was built at the cost of much death to protect the people of china from death. Either way death built the great wall of china. Death created the great wall of china which can be seen from outer space. So a nonlocal element caused the great wall of china. Death.

@martinies,
If you were a bird, you would have no concept of "wall" or "China" or "cause" or "God".
For humans, "fear of death" might be cited as "a cause" for human constructions (whether they be walls or gods) but not "death" itself. The fact that constructions can result in deaths is no more significant than any other cause of death.
If you are simply playing with the concept of entropy....something along the lines that "order" is balanced by concomitant "disorder"... you still have the problem of defining "order" without reference to human cognition.
And if you are interested in definitions of "life" other than as an antithesis of "death" I recommend you read up on Maturana's autopoiesis.

That was an example of the cause and effect of death in human terms. Order and disorder are the samething . Order needs disorder to diffine its self as order disorder needs order to be disorder. Death puts order on life to build the great wall of china.

Sorry but that's incoherent.
If I had time I might dig out a copy of some cartoon involving "the grim reaper" supervising a construction team, but I think I'll leave you to it.
