I'm no quite sure as to where this comment falls, but is definately 
not hate mail. I'm just curious as to how science can base our 
superiority on Darwin's theory of evolution, and then put so much 
faith in medical science? I am most certainly not a "people hater".nor 
am I an animal rights activist. So before you prejudge me and doctor 
my letter to fit into your hate mail category, take a minute to 
consider what I am saying. Darwin's theory is considered fact for much 
of the scientific community. Assuming that it is, then as logic 
dictates, medical science is contradictory to evolution. Let me 
explain. In nature,which we are undisputably part of, there exists a 
force which we refer to as life. Life is something that we really know 
little about, and have never even come close to reproducing it 
artificially. Nature is responsible for everything that is, at least 
on Earth. It is what gives us life, and sustains it. Without nature we 
would cease to exist, and contrary to popular belief, without humans
nature would most certainly survive. Logically, nature is more 
signifigant than man. Now that we realize that we are not responsible 
for our own prosperity, science once again agrees with me. The basis 
for our dominance is evolution.If you disagree, compare present man 
with that of caveman, and even further, that of primates. It follows 
that we have progressed by natures cleansing of inferior genes. The 
same way that all but human life continues to progress. We have now 
reached a level of existance where technology is far greater than the 
forces of nature, or so we think. Now, if a child is born with a 
defective immune system, let's say diabetes, medical science can help 
that child live a "fruitful" life. By allowing medical science to act 
as crutch if you will, we have cheated nature of its responsibility to 
keep the gene-pool strong. When the defective human reproduces, it 
passes on that inferior gene and thus causes evolution to take a step 
backward. However, as long as medical science advances and technology 
continues to prevail, there is no error in our way. Unfortunately the 
industrialized world(ie: the technology users) seem to live in a 
bubble. The United States is perhaps the most guilty. I know that We 
think our country is beautiful, and in some respects it is. But I am 
sure that few have ever seen what the effects of all our technology 
does to the rest of the planet. In fact, I really don't think most 
even care. The joke is on us folks. The very technology that we are so 
dependent on is 100% dependent on nature(earth). It is undisputable
that technology is literally destroying the earth. The fact is that 
the planet is not capable of sustaining this level of technology for 
very long relative to the life span of human existance. As science and 
medicine advance, we are allowing the weak to survive, and survive 
longer. It is then logical that medical science has halted evolution 
and is no longer allowing humans to adapt with the enviornment. As 
long as technology can keep adapting the enviornment to us,great! But 
what happens if the technology runs out of resources. I believe that 
as evolution dictates, the human race would perish as the result of 
centuries of medical science blocking natures ability to keep the 
human gene strong. If you think I'm a fool or discredit my findings 
simply because they don't aggree with the common ideals of the 
majority, ideals which you undoubtably follow, maybe you should look 
at the majority. The fact is that the majority is not very intelligent 
nor will the majority be successful in the society that was set up by 
the majority. How many Darwins and Einsteins does the world produce? 
How many Bill Gates and Ross Perots do you see? I believe that the 
majority acheive far far less. I also recall throught history that 
those who were more intelligent and had ideas that were not in keeping 
with the majority were always resisted and laughed at by people like 
you, the common majoriy. Why don't you ask yourself where your VP 
position would be if your common majority idiot forefathers had 
continued to laugh at science, after all, 300 years ago everybody knew 
that God was the creator and Adam and Eve spawned human life right?
Only foolish or mislead people like myself thought about evolution. 
Your probably to stupid to understand me anyway, after all, those who 
follow beg to be led, ever wonder why when you common people who never 
question anything finally die, nobody remembers your name?
