June 26, 2009 — Evolution of rape? No way. Sharon Begley won’t let the evolutionary psychologists get away with their tales about how rapists, molesters, and cheaters can’t help themselves because evolution made them that way. The Science Magazine blog Origins seems to be cheering her on.
Science writer Sharon Begley, who in 2007 returned to her old job at Newsweek after 5 years of writing the “Science Journal” column for The Wall Street Journal, has long reported skeptically about anything smacking of biological determinism. In the 29 June issue of Newsweek, she pens a 4300-word critique of evolutionary psychology, the theory that modern human behavior—including everything from mate choice to child abuse to warfare—is the result of evolutionary adaptations that took place 100,000 or more years ago. Her piece, titled “Why Do We Rape, Kill and Sleep Around?” concludes, as the subtitle puts it, “The fault, dear Darwin, lies not in our ancestors, but in ourselves.”

“No, I’m informed.”
Did your mom tell you that? Do you actually believe her?
You are like an annoying yappy dog. Always barking, but making no sense. You are a perfect minion of “creation science”. Afterall, no actual knowledge is required, only declarations of knowledge.
You have no idea how knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, is developed, how science is researched, theories developed and refined over time. You don’t have any way to appreciate the humility of scientific discovery and what it feels like to put your life’s work on display for everyone’s criticism. You, my friend, and all your “creation science” cohorts simply don’t have the cognitive resources to appreciate any work of science that doesn’t conclude with the requisite “Just like it says in Genesis”.
I really wonder about the empty lives of “creation science” types - to have no passion for anything other than breaking commandments -lying about science and the good people who truly engage in it- to somehow prove yourself worthy to God, or maybe just your fellow “creation science” brethren.
I’m amused and morbidly fascinated at your collective major malfunction, and your “one true path” thinking.
So keep up the good work. It keeps me coming back for more on these threads.
Here’s a couple of simple questions that you might ponder before you pronounce your judgements again on creation science.
1. What is the evolutionary explanation for stasis in the fossil record?
2. What is the evolutionary explanation for polystrate fossils?
3. Since no biological clocks can be assured of 100% accuracy, why does evolutionary science discard the hundred or so others biological, geological, and astronomical clocks in favor of only a handful indicating billions of years for earth and universe?
4. What was is that Darwin himself said would absolutely cause his theory of evolution to fall apart?
Once you begin to see the folly in trying to explain those questions above you might try moving on to what is recorded at

before you resume your childish name-calling.
“before you resume your childish name-calling.”
Your “creation science” is ugly and smells of elderberries.
Science is not applicable to the creation, except as a diversion, or hobby. To imagine that mere men can understand the cosmos is really an insult to our creator.
To study it with the understanding that it is infinitely beyond man’s comprehension will of course frustrate the humanists, but a humanist is decidedly less capable of such understanding than the average person.
You are even more limited than the average humanist, due to your denial of the deceptive nature of humanism. For that reason, for you to use the word “science” is like a dog reading Shakespeare. You attempt to use terms like “cognitive resources” without the slightest inkling of their implication.
You are a ‘science’ groupie. Of course you’ll keep coming back, like the moth to the lantern.
“To imagine that mere men can understand the cosmos is really an insult to our creator.”
To imagine that men would not study the infinite cosmos with the intent of trying to understand it is really an insult to the creator.
To criticize men for attempting to do so is, well, “creation science”
Thank you for coming clean on your beliefs. Most of you won’t admit what you just did. You are ignorant, but at least you are honest about it.
You fail again!
Your reading comprehension is less than zero.
I never assailed the study of anything. I reject the absurdity of those that claim understanding. They are fools. Those such as yourself, that blindly support those that present things that you know that you do not understand are bigger fools.
To attempt to link foolish musings like evolution to science is a sorry joke.
“You fail again!”
Keep doing your thing, man.
