I think few among Frevolutionists will deny that evolution from a philosophical stance, is one of meaninglessness.

I deny that evolution has a philosophical (or any other kind of) stance. Science, evolutionary or otherwise, is not the same thing as philosophical naturalism: whether darwinian evolutionary theory has meaning or not is outside of science's capacity to inquire.

Ahem. Deny it all you want, but the world is round, not flat. If you need a primer on exactly what philosophical assumptions do indeed underlie 'science' and its 'capacity', I have a lot of links to offer you. First in the list ... no, wait a sec...

"Google and the Internet make it duck soup.." is how it was put by a poster once...
