{{Icc header}} '''Claim [http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA500.html CA500]:''' Natural selection, or "survival of the fittest," is tautologous (i.e., uses circular reasoning) because it says that the fittest individuals leave the most offspring, but it defines the fittest individuals as those that leave the most offspring.

'''CreationWiki response:''' Creationists agree that this argument shouldn't be used to falsify evolution.
