Sez MHatch: “It is common for Darwinists to define human actions as evil e.g., anthropogenic global warming.
Where in the theory of evolution is evil defined?”
Quoi? WTF? My straw-manometer just pegged the dial. Apart from the tendentious and baggage laden description of, say, an evolutionary biologist as a ‘Darwinist’ – which, we are meant to read, is a member of some sort of weird sect like the Exclusive Brethren – if any time a public figure identified with the defence of the science of evolution against obscurantism opines that ‘global warming is evil’, he is speaking as a private citizen, and not with his ‘Darwinist’ hat on. As such, we should pay him as much (or as little) heed as we would anyone else.
As for ‘evil’ in the neo-Darwinist synthesis: there have been many and varied approaches taken under its aegis to the problem of why altruism arose.
