“So what is bad for the next generation may be good for our species in general.”

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19336438 In the above story, the combination of an empirical investigation of the here-and-now – what creationists like myself like to call “operational science” – together with speculative Darwinian faith, leads to this final take-home quote:  “The high rate of mutations is dangerous for the next generation but is generating diversity from which nature can select and further refine this product we call man,” he said. “So what is bad for the next generation may be good for our species in general.” Got that? It’s similar to the way in which your team losing this week and then repeating the performance next week results in winning the league at the end of the season.
