Jim,
This is radically new news to me. Could you please
provide a citation to a refereed scientific journal,
or even a college or high school biology text book?
If this is an opinion you have reached on your own,
please explain what constitutes perfect evolution. Do
you understand evolution to be teleological? If so,
how do you conclude that it is and what is the telos
of evolution?
How does the imperfect achivement of the telos
(whatever if may be) of evolution result in suffering?

I am also amazed at this conclusion. Could you please
point me to your source for this statement? We were
trying to have a conversation off-list about this very
topic, but you seemed to lose interest and did not get
back to me. Perhaps we should try to take it up
again?
All the Best,
Blake
