So I'm readin' an article today about whether or not scientists should start relocating species -- animal & plant -- in order to save them, presumably from the effects of so-called "global warming" and other "bad" human effects on the environment (Side note: when I was a kid in middle school in the 70's, we were told by "scientists" that the world was definitely headed for another cataclysmic ice age. I wonder what ever happened to that?).
Anyway, these goofballs that have shrines to Darwin in their solar-powered saunas aren't really thinkin' like their hero, now are they? Stop and think about it. What is the cardinal axiom of Darwinian evolution? "Survival of the fittest," right? So, if these fungi don't figure out a way to grow legs and move to a suitable climate on their own, then to heck with 'em! They don't deserve to survive. That's just "nature's" way of weeding them out, ain't it?
And if the furry little Fooze-beaked Logglewhopper doesn't develop opposable thumbs in time to open the door to a cab and hitch a ride outta his little habitat that we're heatin' up with our SUVs, oh well, tough noogies.
If they were consistent Darwinists, they would leave it all alone and let the blind forces of nature take care of it all. Apparently they don't really believe Darwin either.
Gotta' love inconsistency.
