Denied, I and many other people have already explained to you why cars and other machines we build are not comparable to living organisms.
Because cars don't work the same way as living systems do.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How does natural selection determine which mutations remain and which do not?

I was providing a simple example context where a mutation for chemical sensitivity could provide an organism a selective advantage for the potential evolution of an olfactory organ; I'm afraid I can't think of a simpler example if you are unable to follow that one.
Cells in colonies and multicellular organisms exchange signals from the start of their development. If an organism can't respond to stimuli from its environment, it will have no use for environment sensors (and it will die - more accurately, it could never have evolved - responsiveness is a requirement for life). Mechanisms for sensing and responding the environment provide a selective (evolutionary) advantage at the earliest stages in the evolution of life.
Do some reading around the subject, perhaps that will help - although I'm not optimistic.
