What basis does evolution provide jlogajan to condemn any belief whatever, since all beliefs are nothing but the result of chemical and physical forces in the first place? What could possibly be "wrong" with a neurochemical, physical phenmomenon in an impersonal universe that is nothing but physical forces at work? What could possibly be wrong with a physical force? Exmarine is nothing but a concatenation of physical forces. Is jlogajan implying that examarine has some moral or empistemological duty imposed on exmarine by this impersonal universe to 'believe' certain things, or not to 'believe' certain propositions? What basis other than neurochemical reactions in jlogajan brain could there possibly be for believing that ANY product of evolution (which by definition is EVERYTHING, including examarine and exmarine belief) is "wrong", or even dysfunctional, as signified by the words "crazy, sick freaks"?
By defintion, NO evolutionary process is dysfunctional.
Cordially,
What about detrimental mutations? Evolution accounts for them nicely, but does not claim they are not dysfunctional. Methinks you made that up by yourself.
Some ask "why?", I ask, "why not?"
Very good. This is a good question. Chemical processes are not right or wrong, they just are.
