Very little of that needed Darwin. Darwinism did not usher in the modern world nor is Darwinism a prerequisite for biomedical advancement. Not that Darwin’s contribution was necessarily a bad thing but many of the derivative ideas have been horrific and dehumanizing at least as much so as any of the allegations made against organized religion as a source of social angst. Personally I think what is most important to take away from Darwinism is how very different and unique human beings are in comparison to their alleged ancestors. Not only do we have less chromosomes but we accomplish things that an Ape could never dream of. We can resist base drives and be trained and self train ourselves in vastly complicated abstract processes.

My primary argument with atheist evolutionary types is that they often sell fantastical fictions and tell stories that make our religious books look tame ascribing anthropomorphic purpose to ‘evolutionary’ processes where no such purpose should exist. There is no good or bad in a strict evolutionary world there is only what is and what is survived and reproduced sometimes by accident sometimes by advantageous traits.

The most amusing thing though is how evolutionary dysfunctional the ‘modern’ world is. The ‘smartest’ and ‘brightest’ at least by current human standards are reproducing at rates far below those who are not as ‘bright’. Luckily simply going to highly rated liberal academic institutions isn’t a perquisite for intelligence but a person who claims to be intelligent but chooses not to reproduce is essentially committing a form of evolutionary suicide but since evolution in its purist form has no moral or ethical qualms and essentially what “is” can be nothing else but what is “right” in the great indifferent wild yonder of the universe because “right” becomes meaningless or merely a tool to conscript the strong in the service of the weak.

People who voluntarily, willfully, end their line are fools.
