from wagglebee: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies
Spirited: In the context of religion there has always been a “religion of Darwinism,” though not in the exact form it has taken today.
When searching for a natural (Godless) mechanism to explain biological evolution Darwin enthroned “randomness and chance,” thereby reviving the very ancient idea of Chaos, the watery void, the “one substance” that was believed (i.e., Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks) to be the first thing in existence from which the god (i.e., Ra) and/or gods and goddesses created themselves and then mankind, and all else.
Since all things are of Chaos, and Chaos is the antithesis of order, absolutes, universal truth-claims, enduring principles, history, etc., there is no logical source for true science. Magic replaces true science, myth replaces history and moral relativism replaces universal truth-claims.
With Darwinism “nothingness, randomness, and chance” are Chaos and rather than the gods, “matter” spontaneously generated (created) itself from “nothing” (Chaos). And the first things generated by matter? The earth (the Goddess Gaia) and a “watery pond” teeming with primordial life.
And of course, because there is no logical source for universal truth-claims, America and the West have naturally fallen into myth, magic, and moral relativism.
