I loved reading your piece; it is both entertaining and useful. You have tackled the problem of natural selection fairly well as anyone reading it can have a clear idea of what it is. For instance, your description of the term is brief and clear, and so easily understandable. Natural selection is a major mechanism of evolution, and you have highlighted this fact; I also find this to be admirable. You have mentioned that as the discourse of natural selection turns to DNA and other genetic intricacies, your attention begins to wander. I believe you do so since you may find such issues to be tough to understand. I must confess that I am interested about the function that DNA plays in natural selection. This is my favorite part of natural selection. I appreciate reading about how genetic variants Help organisms to better adapt to their changing environment. Apparently, genetic variety is created by several mechanisms, including random mating between organisms, mutation, and random fertilization, (Pierce 78). (Pierce 78). Some of these variables reshuffle alleles within a population, creating offspring combinations dissimilar from their parents and others. Notably, populations with minimal genetic diversity are often threatened since they are normally sensitive to sickness and usually pass lethal recessive mutations to their species. I agree with you that some people may have difficulty appreciating the topic from a religious perspective. For instance, Christians notably hate the theory of evolution because it goes against their beliefs that God is the one who created heaven and earth and everything in it. Besides, the belief that organisms adapt to their environment is counter to their conviction that God created an environment suited for human beings.
