Week #6 Philosophy in 5 min-Survival of the Sufficient

This film is basically talking about how people remain alive or existent. Darwin explanation for this is because of natural selection. He states that we are an exact copy of our parents DNA. Therefore we can take the DNA and design characteristics of our own children. This will occur depending of who has the dominant gene it may be either mom or dad. Darwin also goes on to talk about how deception plays a role in natural selection. He beliefs that deception is influenced by others which are your friends, relatives, parents, teachers, priests, rabbis, lovers, ex's, food, environment, and everything else that is around you. Darwin thinks that deception is done so in order to keep everyone alive and happy.
To me what Darwin is trying to say is that life is given to us by our parents DNA. That god does not provide actual evidence such as science to prove he is the one that gives us life. He also states that deception is like a disease it takes over people. It makes people believe in things that are not true. He thinks that in order to stop deception people need to think for themselves and not let others influence them.
