Nobody has addressed any of the philosophical points in my original post.

Maybe because it was nothing but a load of "argument from consequence", founded in faulty premises and having no bearing whatsoever on the validity of the theory of evolution.

Really?

Doesn't the following come close to characterizing fundamental Evolutionist/Materialist premises?

• Everything came from nothing out of nowhere for no apparent reason.

• Life is just a curious side-effect of an unknowing, uncaring cosmos.

Does this not give rise to a hedonistic or nihilistic response? Since, when you die you are just so much compost, then the best we can hope for is a life of self-gratification and a painless extinction.
