Science bases explanations on "laws," or the regular, partly predictable behaviors and interactions of the forces, energies, and substances in the universe, underlying natural phenomena and providing the drives that bring them into existence, but our understanding of these regularities is often incorrect, and so we keep looking. How can natural selection be both a creative force and still weed out the "unfit?" The creativity and coherence of "mutations" are poorly described; it is more accurate to describe life and evolution in terms of self-organization and emergent properties where given a flow of energy, life generates itself through underlying laws.
