I don't know, because it seems to me that the very best evidence we have for the truth of Darwin's theory is the evidence that arrives every day from bioinformatics, from understanding the DNA-coding. The critics of Darwinism just don't want to confront the fact that molecules, enzymes and proteins lead to thought. Yes, we have a soul, but it's made up of lots of tiny robots.

I don't agree our soul is just an expression of our physical existence. We're clearly much more than that. But Dennett love him or hate him, is right about one thing: Intelligent Design will never demolish evolutionary theory to explain living processes since Occam's Razor favors the simpler explanation as the correct answer.

"The critics of Darwinism just don't want to confront the fact that molecules, enzymes and proteins lead to thought. Yes, we have a soul, but it's made up of lots of tiny robots."

So does materialistic "soul" have a free will? Is there a moral background to creation for which this free will has meaning?
