In his book Darwinism Defended, Michael Ruse writes that "Many contemporary Darwinists show a strong liberal commitment in their politics and sexual morality, whereas advocates of creation want to go back to a strict biblical morality." And he concludes the chapter by saying, "Darwinism has a great past. Let us work to see that it has an even greater future." Isn't that something very inappropriate to say of a scientific theory? Does one ever hear anyone say "gravity has had a great past, let's work together to see that it has a great future." It’s pretty clear that Darwinism is more then simply a scientific “theory,” but is a worldview, and philosophy, which can be and has been applied to a variety of other theories, particularly social theories, and has influenced people’s morality and political ideology. It’s interesting that Darwinism applied to social behavior fuels a leftist viewpoint on all that it’s applied to.
It's interesting that this thread has been up for over an hour, and it hasn't yet attracted FR's roving pack of evos.
Please show how evolution can be applied to social behavior.
