I could have sworn natural selection had to do with development and
survival of species (not individuals) over geological time to
accommodate and adjust to environmental changes. When a population
fails to thrive it either changes form or goes extinct.

Natural selection (being *selection*) fosters the survival of those
species suited to the environment; those unsuited are not "killed" by
natural selection but die from the inability to thrive in that
environment. I wonder how "creation theorists" account for all the
species that have perished? Did creation kill them off to promote
other species?

If survival of the fittest applied to individuals, Dr. Chung and I
would both be at high risk since common sense and playing nicely with
others are great risk reducers. :-)

To address the issue of the aortic aneurysm, yes, it is a risk for an
individual, but it occurs so seldom that it is not a risk to the human
species.
