At 81, he's reached an age at which sexual license probably does not seem so all-important. I've come to think that's about 95% of the motivation behind the modernist revolt against religion, of which atheism is but one strand. The high theorizing is rooted mainly in the desire to reject any authority outside oneself, and this in turn is motivated very largely by the desire to misbehave sexually.

Ah, the "people are atheists to justify sexual deviancy". Just one in a series of bogus and bizarre "explanations" for why people don't believe as you do.

Let me first say that I do not believe that most, or even many, of today's believers in evolution hold to such a belief because they want to get jiggy.

However...to deny that a lot of people like (and promote) evolution because it eliminate's God's influence is naive at best. Take this example:

"Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus' earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of god. Take away the meaning of his death. If Jesus was not the redeemer that died for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing."
G. Richard Bozarth, "The Meaning of Evolution", American Atheist, 20 Sept. 1979, p. 30

I submit it is not a case of Christians fighting science, but a case of non-christians fighting Christ.
