Don't really have a dog in this fight but one thing that bothers me about evolution - evolution operates on years to million years time frames but survival is a second by second proposition. I can't quite reconcile the different time scales.

Evolution is not a matter of individual animals, but species. If one monkey dies, it does not affect evolution. The species continues and reproduces.

Evolution does not address the survival of individual critters, just species.
