Carry natural selection to its conclusion and you have not one of those five.

Horse manure. Natural selection would select for each of them.

Evolution produces "design" by selecting functional arrangements from nonfunctional arrangements. Functional arrangements enhance fitness, and even more improved functionality further improves fitness.

"Purpose" follows directly from function.

"Benevolence" is clearly a fitness-enhancing quality in social animals.

Ditto for "love" and "duty".

And again, you are ignoring the chimp genome data.

You still have not commented on it.

Your intrasigence is strange in that none of it is in opposition to evolution.

You seem to have an ego issue more than anything. You made a big deal about repeat elements proving common descent -- because you read it in a t.o. tract and spammmed it here.

This gene therapy study belies the claim that these events are so random as to have never occurred independently when an analogous event occurred in mutiple patients and genome data shows that there are elements shared between some species with common ancestors which you said would be proof against evolution.
