Once human nature is understood to be an accident of chance, it can no longer be the inviolable locus of moral claims.

Fine post, xzins. I especially liked Wiker's pointing out that the "Two Truths" theory of knowledge really is a canard. For every dogmatic Darwinist I know is a closet metaphysician who refuses to admit the fact.

Thanks for the post, xzins!

Thank you so much for the article, xzins! And thank you for your insight, betty boop!

Indeed.

Of late I've been harping on the science threads trying to get some of the dogmatic Darwinists to understand that declaring "Nature did it" forecloses further investigation just as surely as the declaration that "God did it".

How can anyone hold "simply to natural selection" and not have a cosmology, a view of origins that is somehow affected by all that selecting and leading up to all that selecting.
