We are seeing external adaptive pressures that diminish natural selection as an absolute, such as in this paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4333222/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4333222/ Its nice that science is able to adapt to new information. Natural selection needed to be an absolute to counter state-religion based spontaneous creation. But its now not an absolute, with worthwhile investigation of how life experience can make its way into zygotes. Maybe one day we can even prove spontaneous creation, and learn the process for that.
