Once again, this becomes relevant: |

Actually, "natural" would be "that which benefits the reproduction of one's genes". Being gay doesn't help, as men can't reproduce with other men, or women with other women. |

The only real evolutionary imperative is to spread your genes. What you say "to not exist at all" is what life (and its system of evolution) is trying so hard to prevent. It's about "survival of the genes"... not "survival of you". That's the great misconception of evolution. |

Not really. |

Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
Instead of just saying "not really" I will actually critique what you said. Your initial statement "The only real evolutionary imperative is to spread your genes" Is what I have the biggest problem with. When you are a parent, you may want your kid to have "x" and "y" genes, naturally because it resembles you. If we are talking about natural selection and survival of the fittest, than fundamentally the imperative of evolution is being adapted with the ability to survive. Things that may derive from that include physical strength.. a healthy body, a intelligent mind. |

The planets...
The intricate and dynamic machinery of nature...
