Is Evolution Your Science or Your Religion?
Udolpho once said of "choice for men:"
This idea very neatly divides those who truly find abortion unobjectionable and those who just like it because it gives women whatever they want.
I think a similar thing can be said for evolutionary psychology:
This idea very neatly divides those who truly believe in evolution as a scientific theory from those who simply want an alternate belief system to believing in God.
Or, as I said back last November:
Whenever someone denigrates evolutionary psychology, what they really mean is "I thought the whole point of evolution was just to deny God. I didn't think it was actually supposed to tell us anything."
That is all.
