Evolution isn't about individuals, it's about populations, and populations don't die, they go extinct. Or they change so much over time that they are no longer recognizable as what they once were.

Yes but isnt death the real changer of life forms so the event as it happens is a presentation of death. Example a lion chasing an antelope death has formed both animals and the event of the lion chasing the antelope is death as the presenter of the event in action.

You seem to be a little hung up on death. And I really can't make any sense of how you are trying to force it into your understanding of evolution. But at the very least you should realize that death is irrelevant to evolution once an organism has already reproduced.

No it was a the thought that evolved forms of life owe the reason for there forms present form of existance to the death of past forms which might if they had lived change future forms. Its seems to me that the most important thing that brings about change in evolution is death. So if were able to look at evolution of a life form speeded up a million times normal speed it would be easy to see that it was death that shaped an animals present form.

Ok. So are you just restating or re-observing "Survival of the fittest"? Or are you implying something different?

Reproductive opportunity is the operative mechanism in evolution. Death takes every life form, regardless of whether or not they successfully reproduce. This member has had this death is evolution obsession for a long time, and it makes no more sense now than it did at the beginning.

Death as the underlying cause of evolution brings back the status quo of the event to 50-50 on as to weather we were created by a god. If there is a god there is no death and death would be the life changing force which acts upon the created event to change its life forms. In other words life and death are one.

Many (not all) who believe in evolution don't believe there is a God, they don't believe man was created, and they don't believe there is any such thing as sin.

So what's your point?

The point is that god has to be the unmoving part of nature. The part of natural existance that projects the local nature. So death as nonlocality is the unmoving changer of local life forms.

There is no evidence or indication of any God in nature. So you are starting with an unreasonable assumption.

Yep. That's the problem with working from purely a priori concepts. Anything you can imagine works. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin, etc. Meaningless without evidence.

Ok then I will put it this way god is the relativity in the event as seen in spooky action at a distance. And death then is gods hand in the relativity of the event as seen in evolution of species or forms.

Why even bother with the obsolete concept of a god? It's an ancient mythological concept that is completely superfluous to science.

@FBM,

Well god is a word for no thing. The no thing that created something. Or to put it another way the no thing that something came out of or the something that dosnt happen as in move.
