Metaphysical Darwinists don't even bother to think their principles through to the end. Rather, they are, as Davila says about the left's ideas, "trains of thought that are carefully stopped before they reach the argument that demolishes them."

It is an excellent visual representation of the way Things Must Be in order for intelligence and intelligibility to be two sides of the one reality.

If you can't chase it right back to its own beginning, you haven't understood it. <br /><br />Then again, maybe for some people Darwinism is a moebius strip, and they are like ants walking along one side and reasonably concluding that it goes on forever.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
