Suppose there were a times where all rabbit were brown, and they were easy prey for predators in snowy environments. Most mutations are useless things such as birth defects that put the organism at a disadvantage. BUT over extremely long times, you get lucky, and one of the rabbits are born with a white coat. This rabbit will survive because of the added camouflage, and create offspring with this trait. This trait will help those offspring survive, and spread there gene even more, thus natural selection.
Another example, let's suppose an extremely deadly and contagious virus comes onto the earth, and it's fatal to 95 percent of human. 5 percent are naturally immune to the virus. Within a few hundred years almost every human alive will be immune. How? Because those immune are the ones that survive, and they pass on their immunity to their offspring, and the process goes on. Naturally bettering the species.
"That's what I'm afraid of. With 1000+ point members, they don't instantly get the points do they? I was under the impression that their edits get added instantly, but the mods still approve the submission like normal and add points to it then.
