I ask, on what basis do you infer such a conclusion? How do you manage to narrow it down to the one and only goal?
it its called "biology".

but please if you care to "infer" something else please do.

while i respect your opinion the entire field of biology revolves around the fact that organisms behave very predictably because they are merely vehicles for passing on genetic information. if cells did not replicate we would not exist. evolution would not exist. animal behavior is extremely predicatable because they act soley as vehicles for passing on their genetic information, it is a waste for me to keep arguing to prove my point because this thread is old and i dont want to go back and reread, and whoever doesnt agree is going to keep arguing regardless of how well i prove that i am right. its just a waste of effort.

it is pointless for me to have an educated discourse with people whom dont have any knowledge of biology and dont care to actually listen to someone who does.
