The logical conclusion to the battle between Evolutionism and Creationism is going to be the abandonment or the retention of religion based moral codes. Without the moral codes which have served humanity well for millenia, the chaos of Evolutionist "rule of the jungle" will doom civilization.

After all, without the basis of morality, it's really all about the id.

What? You think the TOE implies morality is useless? Has it occurred to you that morality may be beneficial to the survival of the species? I suggest you read up on Kant's Categorical Imperative.

Maybe for you, but I have children, and I intend to make their world and secure and rational as posible, and I intend to do whatever I can to insure the stability of my culture for all my descendents.

If your Id is so out of control that you endanger my children and their posterity, I will do whatever it takes to stop you from harming society.

That's pretty much it. Most people have children and want the world to be safe for them. The rest will conform to this standard or face the dangerous end of a gun.

It just so happens that you and I are born into the luckiest society that ever existed. The physical and political threats we face are a nit compared to what most of the world's parents face.

And of course, that is how 'id'iots evolve! (Gotta have a fragment of a sense of humor here....)
