It's not "nonsense," simply something that (clearly) you do not understand.

No, I understand it which is how I know it is nonsense.

If I were you, I'd stop parading my ignorance....

I haven't demonstrated any yet.

Oh, and by the way, where did "intelligence" come from? Clever matter in its (random) motions???

Just for the fun of it, try to explain how intelligence could arise from a random cause.

Been there, done that. It's well covered in the textbooks.

Intelligence arose, slowly, as a survival mechanism. Just like virtually every other trait in living things.

The sad part is that in today's society we're actually countering evolution's tendency to weed out the stupid. We are, in fact, allowing them to outbreed the intelligent.

So sad.

Oh, my. And a closet eugenicist to boot!

Be careful of that eugenics thing, my friend. You could end up on the short end of the stick with that one. It all depends on how insane the eugenicists of the future might be. But they'll probably all be relying on Darwin to justify what they do.

You haven't demonstrated anything except ignorance so far. What you have is a string of unsupported and self-contradictory allegations. But this "doth not a rational argument make."

She asked how, not at what rate or why.

Fundamental.
