do you think the same applies to eyeglass wearers? if the people that have to wear glasses didn't wear them, they would probably have fallen into a ditch and been killed at a young age. they wouldn't have lived long enough to reproduce, and therefore, the bad eyesight gene would die with them.
this lends itself more toward juju's argument. it is natural for people to learn to invent things that prolong our lives and overcome natural disadvantages. has been from the beginning......ex....fire, tools, weapons, animal domestication, farming.....
this could very easily turn into a deep philosophical discussion about man's effect on darwinism, complete with circular lines of thought that keep leading back to the fact that "unnatural" is an oxymoron. As juju said in the earlier attached thread, everything on earth is,, by definition, natural....it all comes from the earth.....whether it occurs with no help from us, or it occurs as a direct result of the imaginings of our oversized brains......like the computer you're looking at.
