Its equivalent to someone saying "Geography is all rubbish. What is Planet Earth?"

Well no it is not equivalent to that at all. Thats all you have though, so go with it.

An imperfect self replicator is something that copies itself, but sometimes not with 100% fidelity.

Sounds like a concept Dawkins would come up with. The word 'self' needs taken out.

Yes it is. Geography is the study of planet earth. Not knowing what the planet earth is is kinda stupid.
Evolutionary science is the sudy of imperfect self replicators. Not knowing what an imperfect self replicator is is kinda stupid.

Dawkins hardly came up with idea. It has been known for years. And why does the word "self" need to be taken out?

Are you on drugs? You pop on and make inane, nonsensical replies to posts, and basically act like you are incapable of actually SAYING anything.

Not understanding a fundamental concept of any topic renders one unqualified to discuss it. This is also like saying "all math is nonsense -- what is a number?"

Non sequiter. But thanks for playing.
