Before Darwin, Law students studied Blackstone’s commentary on the law as the basis of their legal theory. Blackstone’s commentaries were based in the Judeo-Christian/Biblical foundation. IE, law was based on the objective natural Law of God.

This was replaced at Harvard, post-OoS, with the “evolved case-law” legal theory. One with no basis and subject to the whims of “smart people” like judges who could arbitrarily change the laws because they knew better.

Sheer balderdash. Where do you get this nonsense?

I agree with that balderdash. How do you explain the last 150 years of legal theory? This is well known to legal scholars, and I imagine evolutionary legal scholars agree with the facts as well as any creationist. They just rationalize that the abandonment of objective law is a 'good' thing.
