"I should be dead."

This is going into the darker parts of my mind
As you all know(or should do) i'm a evolutionist, i believe in survival of the fittest but that contradict's my own life, i'll explain.
When i was younger i was diagnosed with a serious medical condition, now without the interception of the doctors and their unnatural drugs i would be dead, and it occurred to me that i am pro-evolution and yet i have damaged it by being alive, if i had been born 100 years ago i would be dead.
Is medicine anti-evolution ?
Does it keep alive people that should be dead ?
Nature Vs Science

i feel that medicine provides a helping hand to both save a persons life and give that person the chance to carry on as well as die. But who knows, people who get a second cahnce could become something special or important to other peoples. The fact that they could pull through means they deserved to survive. It could provide an inspiration for other people like the survivor become something greater.

The world's not getting a better place, just look at the amount of crime, violence and terror around.

It annoy's me that i can see a link between me being alive and religion.

Religion created morality which is why i'm here, without morality we would have no doctors, it would be true survival of the fittest, so i once again contradict my own beliefs just by existing.

But if you were dead, we wouldn't have the pleasure of debate with one another. Even though we tend to disagree, I enjoy our discussions.

I disagree.
Survival of the fittest just means that those who are best able to survive in their given environment, do survive.
There's no real 'meaning', no design to make the species stronger, it's just the way things happen to work out.

Your environment includes medical support, and this allowed you to survive.
It's not as unforgiving as life in the jungle, but that's just where we are.

Don't be a tw*t, Nash.

I agree 100%

Big it up for scientists and their drugs!

*High five!*

Maybe we are meant to die whenever we die. And what you preseive as being 'I should of died' is wrong, and your time has not come to die.


Maybe
