“Survival of the fittest” is a statistical observation of a population ensemble. You can be otherwise fit and eager to replicate and be hit by a truck. Or you can be sick and almost infertile but got someone pregnant. So Darwin doesn’t explain the human condition and why the just might fall due to sickness or the wicked become rich and prolific. That only Heaven knows.

You're changing the measure. Just-ness is not a measure of Fit-ness. Nor is Wicked-ness a measure of Unfit-ness.

I’m saying that “survival of the fittest” and the existence of God can coexist.
