As I walked my dog this evening, I passed a car with a curious bumper sticker.
EVOLUTION MEANS… No God… No Master
More true than most people realize. Evolution does not mean “truth” or “history” or even “science”. It is a model of biological history that is tautological if you assume there is no Creator, hence its appeal — the hedonistic scientist is spared the hard work of furnishing extraordinary evidence for his extraordinary claims, and the scientific hedonist is spared the bother having to reckon with accountability for his immorality.
Not that I expect any Darwinist to be convinced by this little rant. But it is curious that even Darwinism’s proponents recognize its philosophical ramifications; my only real disagreement with them would, I suppose, be whether those are the cause or the effect of their worldview.
i’ve thought this for years, but you cut to the bone quite succinctly.
i’ve always thought that the evolutionary philosophy is an attempt to escape from accountability and the religion it has created obviously mirrors that as well. how easily people fall into the lines of the lemmings
