'every single organic being is striving to have as many descendants as it can'; 'every single organic being is striving to the utmost to increase in a geometric ratio', etc.

Utter nonsense. Journalism.

It is true, however that, 'far more beings are born that can possibly survive'.

[ECO] 'every single organic being is striving to have as many descendants as it can'; 'every single organic being is striving to the utmost to increase in a geometric ratio', etc.

[js1138] Utter nonsense.

Oh dear, what a dumb and embarrassing self-refutation on your part, Mr. science-talker:

[ECO] "every single organic being around us may be said to be striving to the utmost to increase in numbers" (Darwin), "each organic being is striving to increase at a geometrical ratio" (Darwin), "Every species produces vastly more offspring than can survive from generation to generation." (E. Mayr, 2001) "All the individuals of a population... are exposed to the adversity of the environment, and almost all of them perish or fail to reproduce." (E. Mayr, 2001)

[js1138] These are all true statements.
