"You can run but you can't hide. :) "

Is that supposed to mean something profound? You said that metaphysics is about the supernatural. It isn't. Your own post #112 supports this. Darwin was not talking about the supernatural, any more than Aristotle was. He was talking about Locke's ideas about the tabula rasa and epistemology. You are WAY over your head.
