[Right Wing Professor]

There is no philosophical framework within Darwinism to allow for any man's preference to supercede anothers.

That is because Darwinism is not, and nor does it pretend to be, a system of ethics. One could equally say that calculus does not give us a moral basis for our actions.

Calculus does not try to get rid of the moral law-giver. It does not presuppose a world without a creator.

Think about our founders. Even they knew that the rights we have as Americans could never be considered without the foundation of them being given to us by our Creator. Not all of them were Christians. Several were deists who discounted miracles. And yet, the only way to claim unalienable rights was if they were given to us from above. You destroy that foundation, and you have rights given and taken away by preference.
