Selection is an proactive process, something designed, and not a result of something else.

Maybe in your world, but that's not how natural selection works. Sorry.

Pressures are not proactive in achieving a desired end

The only desired end is surviving to reproduce succesfully. Those individuals that survive pass on their DNA, those that don't, do not. There are no other "ends" in biology.

A better term would be natural results, not selection.

You can call it "Dorothy" for all I care, the underlying process remains the same.

Ahh, now we get to the root of the matter. You have accepted this dogma, and view this unreality as reality. You have FAITH in something which is unreal. Nature does not select -- nature RESPONDS to the environment. That is scientific reality, something which the Darwinists cannot accept.

>>The only desired end is surviving to reproduce succesfully.

There you go again.. LOL. A bacteria desires to reproduce? LOL, prove it scientificially. You can't. The only thing you can prove is that a bacteria reproduces itself, not that it actually has an emotional or intellectual will to do so. But, see with the dogma of darwinism, one doesn't have too -- all one has to do is blindly accept this..

>>You can call it "Dorothy" for all I care, the underlying process remains the same.

The forces of nature remain the same this is true. But the reason changes with the words used. nature does not select squat -- it merely reacts to forces. But that thought is an anathama to the faith of Darwinism.
