Heheheh!! Now you are on the run from my questions, I see.
My work here is done.

Oh, wait, do let me address this:
Nope. Put two critters together. If one does stuff that leads it to survive, and the other does stuff that doesn't lead it to survive, then a "survival instinct" can be implied

Just something to think about, you don't have to answer: Which came first, the "primordial ooze that was struck by lightning", or the instinct for survival?

The former. Without life, there is no instinct. Instinct does not exist until there is some sort of operating system.
