Existential Darwinism

This theory supposes two ideas. 1) That human beings are imperfect and 2) the theory of Darwinism is in existence. If human beings are imperfect it is therefore impossible for them to create anything that is perfect in our current state. Thus humans have created an existence that is imperfect. The theory of Darwinism would state that a creature is continually evolving to be fit perfectly for its environment.
As humans we have created our own environment that we are continually trying to evolve to fit perfectly in accordance with Darwinism. Since we cannot create a perfect environment for ourselves Darwinism will push us to be perfect for the imperfect environment we have made.
However if a great goal in humanity is to reach perfection or create perfection, there is room for this goal in Existential Darwinism. By creating an environment that is as close to perfect as possible, we will depend less on Darwinism to further humanity. Therefore we must strive to be perfect but accept that it will never happen and through this we will reach perfection.
It is acceptable to call this a form of Existentialism since reaching perfection is completed internally and not dependant on a higher being to insert it artificially.
