Atheists, if your Evolution is so good, how do you explain lemmings? [Spirituality & Religion]

Lemmings like to kill themselves. According to the theory of Evolution all behaviour of animals exists because it makes them stronger as a species.

So how does deciding to kill yourself benefit the species? It doesn't. Only if the lemmings who killed themselves had bad genes, but how would they even know that?

A lemming is a small rodent, usually found in or near the Arctic in tundra biomes. Lemmings make up the subfamily Arvicolinae (also known as Microtinae) together with voles and muskrats, which form part of the superfamily Muroidea, which also includes rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils. In popular culture, a longstanding myth holds that they commit mass suicide.
