As far as I know "evolutionary advantage" means favouring the replication of a specific
trait (or the genes underlying it) over competing traits. The "simplistic reasoning of
an ignorant" is the reasoning of Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins - that evolution
acts on the individual in the first case, and genes (or gene clusters - or whatever
produces traits on which evolution can get some traction) - in the latter. I don't
follow everything you said but it looks like you're arguing for some sort of group
selection? Maybe you could make your ideas a bit clearer. This in answer to post 1.
Post 2 - Darwin focused on the long term effects of the process - he wanted to explain
how organisms developed over many generations. Not sure about the ideological bias,
please explain further.
Sorry I have to go now - to work in fact! Must fly :-)
