Re: Summation
I have a question:
the specific definition of NS: Differential reproductive success amongst individuals of a population. Natural selection, in and of itself, does not mean sexual selection,...
Under what conditions do you ever concieve that sexual selection would NOT produce differential reproductive success? That would be the only case where you couldn't call sexual selection a type of natural selection right? Where mate preference is occurring yet everyone is still equally successful in reproduction. When would that EVER actually occur? Does that not directly contradict that concept of "preference"?

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)
