It all stems from the modern propensity (pathology, really) of having to blame someone/something for every action taken, ignoring completely the moral reality of evil. They can't answer because they will be be driven into the unavoidable wall of admitting that there is an "uncaused" action committed by humans, and that this is the root of volition, which can be allowed control by evil. "Science" will never admit to this reality.
I think you’re right, fwdude. You hit the nail on the head.
