Irish...Naturalism, which is what evolutionism is a revamped version of, has ALWAYS been about eugenics, population control, aristocracy, state control of the means of wealth, slavery, etc. Why? Because if mankind is the creature of ‘nature’ (matter) then he must be in submission to his creator: nature (matter). Further, he has no more worth than any other animal, and when man’s worth is measured against other creatures, man comes out the loser.

A quagmire of sophistry.

tactical—A quagmire of sophistry.

Irish—If you knew history and the genesis of present day evolutionary materialism, you’d know how amusing your response is. It was in fact, the Greek Sophists (Atominists)-—among other ancient Greek Atomists-—who were among the architects of what you believe to be ‘truth.’

Be that as it may, you’re attempting to refute by way of snide put-down. Shallow, shallow, shallow!

Considering that evolutionary materialism dispossesses man of soul, reason, mind, personhood, memory,free will, conscience, Laws of Logic (all of these things belong in the metaphysical realm), you display the gross hypocrisy and blatant stupidity of evolutionary materialism by your response. It’s because these things are not within the sense realm that EO Wilson bases his hilarious claim that if an individual believes he senses personhood or believes he has actually had an independant thought, the poor sap has actually experienced an epiphenomenon...or an illusion caused by the firing of synapses and ongoing chemical changes taking place within his cranium.

Because by the free will you supposedly do not possess, and by which you chose nevertheless to embrace an anti-intellectual (stupidity-inducing) worldview that you find yourself without a leg to stand on.
