Atheists always invent gods even more fantastic than God. Genes ‘purposefully’ direct phenotypes (Dawkins) Mother Nature intended otherwise (Dennett) Dialectical Materialism orders history (Marx) It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinizing, throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good. (Darwin). What I call bingeing on metaphors.
