I also see the non-alignment of the theory of evolution and the advocating of ethical values. I don't think they have anything to do with each other. Maybe Huxley, being Darwin's apologist, felt the need to "cleanse" the thing by associating popular morality with it. When really that's like gluing two unlike materials together. It's a kind of a double-think. By the way, I was reading some of your other posts below with interest. My knowledge level in biology is not very high but I do pay attention to some of the developments in the area. And the debate. I saw an announcement for a lecture by Sean Carroll in which he will "prove" the theory of evolution by dna evidence, or some such. I don't know much but I am highly skeptical he can accomplish such a thing. Here's the blurb: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/news/releases?id=32886 I'm planning on going. I work at a job where sometimes I get training in certain scientific details about biology, biochemistry, dna, etc. Everything I learn confirms to me Somebody had to design it and make it. Anyway, I will keep watching your blog space and look forward to other posts. Thanks. Joe Hello friend. I also see the non-alignment of the theory of evolution and the advocating of ethical values.
