    death is what paves the way for change. Old ideas literally die out, since the dawn of time. The passing of strategy and technique happens in even single celled organisms

      That is indeed what happens, and it is helpful. But I disagree evolution wouldn’t happen without it.

        the laws of thermodynamics though, you eventually die. You eventually spend resources, you eventually have to obtain more, etc. Unless you are perfect, you may be killed unless you know your environment perfectly, no?

          Yeah, but that’s an argument against being able to live forever, not an argument against evolution being able to happen, if you did.
