Now, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the exact opposite of what we would expect from evolution? Evolution via NS and survival of the fittest says that these types of problems would be weeded out over time. On the contrary, simple mechanics says that if you don't maintain a thing, use it correctly, or provide it with what it needs to keep functioning, then it will deteriorate. Mechanics also tell us that repairing a thing is almost never as good as the original because damage spreads.-That is what this sounds like to me. You have a hydraulic pump that needs a certain amount of internal pressure, but not to much, in order to function at max efficiency and have fluid regulator whos job it is to try and compensate for fluctuations in those levels. Deterioration in the pump triggers the fluid regulator to start trying to perform its function, but the pump is already damaged at that point and tries to use its own fail safes at the wrong time. -This sounds more like devolution than evolution.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
