But they don't base their belief on such misinterpretations - their
beliefs have nothing to do with science nor evidence.

("adman" <72...@hottmail.et>):
Excuse me.
Prey tell (no pun intended) how can the species survive if the
individual
does not?
(T Guy):
Because the individual has done something to ensure the survival of
every other individual in the same species. Particularly its own
personal descendents.
In other words, a species is composed of several individuals. If one
particular individual fails to survive, the species still carries on.
