Question: Is survival a gamble of some sort!?
Like making a choice of;
Accepting a fact that change has happened and it's better to understand it and move on!.
Or;
Trying to reverse this change!.

After all, we have evolved to understand that change will take place and are better prepared for such an eventuality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
An idiot does not have much chance of material success!.

There are those that have assembled over fifty thousand facts of physics and chemistry which they deem to be incompatible with the laws of accidental chance, and which they contend unmistakably demonstrate the presence of intelligent purpose in the material creation!.

Chance: About five thousand years ago a chance meeting occurred between an Indian tribe and a lone Eskimo group on the southeastern shores of Hudson Bay!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am trying to understand how survival fits in here!. It might be argued that we evolved to see patterns even if there are none to see!. Witness religion!. I don't think there is anything that is totally random; despite what ever the mathematicians say is happening at the very small where energy and particles seem to freely exchange places!. Our brains are wired to expect loyalty where none exists, a caring God where none exits, etc!. Literally world without end, Amen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
