Clearly the form of evolution which Dr. Waddington has in mind is not that which has hitherto prevailed; what he has in mind is a man made system of evolution.

Darn right what he says has absolutely nothing to do with evolutionary science! Which begs the question.. what was all that about?

In brief, instead of seeking ethical guidance from evolution,

Who seeks 'ethical' guidance from evolution? WHat does that even mean? Using the word 'evolve' does not presuppose biological evolution?!?! Science and ethics are completely seperate issues.

he now proposes to impose a system of ethics on evolution and so bring humanity ultimately to a safe and final anchorage in a Christian haven.

Uhhh, you mean like a christian version of iran? *cough* dark ages *cough*

Evolution is science, it cares nothing for ethics or democracy, it is interested only in defining our natural world. You can't falsify something scientific by pronouncing it is unethical!!!

Gravity is directly responsible for thousands of deaths each year, very unethical! When does the trial start? Down with gravity!

The point is, an evolutionist has no rational or logical basis for morality. Then of course, people with certain kinds of, "proclivities", shall we say, don't have any real USE for morality either...
