The evos responses in this thread give evidence of the crippling effects of pride. For in essence, all of their arguments against the article and its author can be boiled down to this: "Rather than accept our Creator, we (evos) prefer to be soulless pointy-eared anthropoids---sans free will and conscience."

LOLOL, Lindykim! So very true. And then they say this is "evolution." (Looks like "devolution" to me.)

Indeed, Screwtape knows exactly what he's doing. His most effective tactics always involve an appeal to conceit, pride, arrogance, narcissism.

Does your edition of The Screwtape Letters contain the appendix added around 1968, "Screwtape Proposes a Toast?" I highly recommend this particular reading to our evo friends.

But they will probably hold it in contempt anyway, as they do all aspects and insights of human culture that cannot be reduced to what they take to be The Scientific Method. Notwithstanding, they will have been warned.... And I guess maybe that's the best we can do; beyond that, all we can do is pray for their souls and hope they come to their senses in time.

Thanks so much for writing, Lindykim. And thanks again for your wonderful article.

Yes indeed! And I suspect ole Screwtape will have more to say on this subject. After all, narcissists (and Screwtape is definitely that) love to brag about their conquests.

Indeed, dear sister in Christ! If we keep on praying and speaking up then we are doing what we must.
