Even if one grants this, what is the proper response?
Is it to oppose the unjustified philosophical insertion of purposelessness
trying to pass itself off as a result of science?
Or is it to oppose the science within evolutionary theory, which may be as
theologically neutral as atomic theory?
Do we deal with barnacles hanging onto a ship by scraping them off (even if
they are stubbornly attached), or by torpedoing the whole ship?
