Please explain what your meaning of "Darwinian natural selection" is.
Do you have a problem with Darwin's many explanations?

Natural selection still exists even in this situation. Some mice and lemmings are still born from the coupling of their parents. Those males and females had to compete in order to wind up with each other.
All mice and lemmings are born from the coupling of their parents.

Now what form of competition are you talking about? Darwin never claimed this. Darwin never said just living any old ordinary easy life would lead to evolution. He always maintained just the opposite.

Even the aggressive behavior is a trait that was selected for "naturally". What is happening in this situation that leads you to believe that natural selection went away.
Nothing has led me to believe it ever was there to begin with.

I was not intentionally trying to make anything obscure or to bewilder you. In fact I don't see my reply to you as doing any of that. I do however see your accusation that I was suggesting the scientists starved animals to rig their results, as obfuscation.
I didn't accuse you. I asked you your position. You equated this with "slamming".

Speaking of clarifying, are you switching now to one of LindaLou's NeoLamarchist models? Struggle is a key ingredient of Darwin's model. "Survival of the fittest" doesn't mean survival of everyone else too.
