... reproduction is a key driving force in the evolution process.
It is evolution.
But nobody actually said why is that the case?!
See above.
I mean, reproduction is very energy consuming process.
Also a very fun one.
What I think is that whist reproduction can increase the density of the molecule in a solution but also soon the resources will finish and the process ends there. Much like when a fire starts. It extends as far as it has fuel and air to burn and then stops. I don't understand what is the advantage here?!
Yawn... Just a poorly attempted variation of the old 2LoT argument; too bad we actually don't live in a closed system.
