I'm not ignoring anything. Natural Selection is what has always been understood to be what MAKES THE CHANGES that we know of as evolution.
Your comments about something that is not the theory of evolution are irrelevant. But what makes you look like a buffoon is claiming that your ideas are the same as Darwin's when faced with the text from Darwin's work. Can you at least stop doing that?
Further, if you don't intend to talk about the theory of evolution, then you cannot establish that it is incorrect. We all agree that your proposition describes something that does not work. We can find that expressed in Darwin's work.
It has to have something to work on but that is not what I'm defining at the moment, if you wouldn't mind just following the argument and cutting out all the distracting irrelevant side issues.
We've already done that. The problem is that by never getting beyond your point, you fail to address why the theory of evolution is wrong. Your current argument is not even being disputed.
