Huh? Who said anything about creating an amoral society?

I think you're projecting. I like the fact that you concede that you lack the ability, intelligence or education to articulate or defend your own position (asking a highly trained newspaper columnist to do so instead), but not the ability to insult those with whom you disagree.

Insulto, ergo sum.

Actually, how does one go about insulting someone who sincerely believe that he/she is descended from apes?

If I were to articulate my position, it would be a very long post. Out of consideration, I referenced the the best conservative book of the year which also demolishes the Darwinian fantasy and pretenses quite effectively but has an economy of prose which I find hard to match. Not only that but Ann is quite obviously not related to apes in any way and, besides, I knew her elder brother John about 35 years ago. He's no ape either. Nor am I but I will certainly let you speak for yourself on your own ancestry.

Of course, I never attended a gummint skewel until I attended law school and so I was brought up Catholic and not brought up to believe that I was a trousered ape. I also missed the Marxism, the eugenics, the birth controlism, the abortionism, the environmental whackoism, and other gummint skewel heresies.

Finally, those who argue for the fantasy of a godless universe, with life being strictly temporal and ending in oblivion at death regardless of moral or immoral behavior in life may well not see "pragmatism" (Lenin: You have to break eggs to make omelettes) as amoral or immoral but merely the greatest good for the greatest number and devil take the hindmost in the name of "progress." You have a right to be wrong but you do not have a right to be taken seriously.
