Every cell, virus, plant, or animal mutation or characteristic is explained by Natural Selection.
It’s almost like there is some motivation for it to make sure life exists and survives. But why do anything at all? If there is a God then it makes sense that it was put in place for life to exist but if there is no God then why don’t we just have a universe of non-living matter?
That was an unfitting characterization.
Natural Selection does not care about wants. Natural Selection is the inherent and consequential process of selection.
Wants and reproduction are properties that influence natural selection - influences what is being naturally selected.
