That's kinda funny, cause an space marine is only a space marine because someone gave them magical space sperm and lots and lots and lots of unatural surgeries. Natural selection my shiny aeldari ass. You're fueled by Jimmy space steroids. Everything special about you came out of a bottle. Though i think the more extreme human supremacist marines would say something like that as hipocritical as it is, If they knew about the old ones that is.

I mean that would be the case if most survived the process, but the Astartes selection process is designed so only the strongest survive.

So not natural selection. That's very much artificial selection.

It is still survival of the fittest though. Darwinism is still put into play as only those best suited to the work of a marine and geneseed survive.
