"Survival of the fittest" means that some individuals have more offspring than others. It is an ex post rather an ex ante concept. There is no notion of purpose or destination. I prefer the term "survival of the adequate."

According to Darwin and evolutionists there is certainly a purpose and a destination. The purpose is to create a species more fit for the environment, the destination is fitness to a particular set of circumstances. It is the basis of natural selection and without natural selection (according to Darwin and evolutionists) there is no evolution.

You have it backwards. You are assigning your ex ante expectations to an ex post description.
