In fact, it appears that the Darwinian Theory of Evolution is no more than another way of describing the readily observable and obvious Theory of Natural Selection.
Personally, I don't see any reason to expect that a bona-fide theory of Natural Selection is at all dependent on the doctrine of metaphysical naturalism, which is in turn predicated on the metaphysical doctrine of monist, deterministic, yet "chancy" materialism. (How does one make all such varied claims "add up?")
But such folk who promulgate such nonsense insist they are doing "science," by eschewing "philosophy."
Pul-eeze.... give me a break.
Separated from that background premise, Darwin's theory of natural selection might not be all that bad.
Thank you for your valuable insights, dear brother in Christ!
