It was contained in his definition (post #109).
He wrote a book, the clue is in the title.
What is the title?
Quit playing Socratic dialogue and make your point.No. That definition is overloaded. I just want to simplify it and make the critical factor explicit. It is the environment which change the direction of evolution.
Correct?
its also true for living creatures. unless you can show me otherwise.
So evolution is "controlled" by environment. Right?
If so, why not add this critical condition to the definition of evolution?
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
Yes. Why?
Quit playing Socratic dialogue and make your point.
Oh, and thanks for ignoring the latter part of my post. A tacit admission that you were wrong is better than none at all.
So you think "natural selection" is the key idea of evolution.
What about the alleles?
With each new generation a species presents a range of variant types to the environment. Those variants which are most successful in that environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing their variations to their offspring. That is the role the environment plays in evolution.My point is not important. What's important is my question.
What I think is "key idea" is irrelevant, I was responding to your question....
"So evolution is "controlled" by environment. Right?

Your question was addressed.... You should be thanking me, not changing the subject.
The two key ideas of evolution are randomly distributed heritable variation and natural selection.So you think "natural selection" is the key idea of evolution.

I picked up the weak point of evolution argument. I told you that is what I am good at.
Evolutionist can not answer my questions.
Evolution goes in the direction of improved adaptation to the existing environment. I'm not sure what you mean by "back and forth" in that context.Fine.
Then let's see the range and direction of environmental change. Did environmental change go straight forward or go back and forth in the earth history?
