Exactly - no pattern - just random. Natural Selection is not driving the hawk therefore Natural Selection is an observation of many points of data, not a force or structure. Natural Selection only exists in our minds.

The hawk will kill the easiest prey. The prey will develop instinctive counters to the hawk's attempts. When the prey cannot adapt, it and its line will cease to exist. If the hawk cannot adapt to the change, the hawk's line will cease to exist.

The pattern makes itself clear.

That you cannot see it is of no concern to the hawk, the prey, or the educated.

If the pattern is clear - please state that pattern (seems all you have is "animals eat, therefore Natural Selection is not random")

Sounds like your position is: Animals eat what they can therefore Natural Selection is not random.

Not a very logical position.

This is pretty funny - seems freedmb2203 thinks he/she/it is the spokesmodel for "educated" people.

BTW: you sure do like paining with broad brush.

So you position is basically to close your eyes, plug your ears and yell "I can hear any difficult questions"

The prey will develop instinctive counters to the hawk's attempts.

What is the definition of "instinctive" in this sentence?

What is the physical mechanism causing the instinct to form? Learned reactions, I can buy. But "instinct"...? How?

Cheers!
