Evolutionary psychology, Intelligent Design, Religion
If one’s research is in a hole as deep as evolutionary psychology is when accounting for compassion, why not stop digging? Stop digging? The hole evolutionary psychologists are digging IS the enterprise. Any motive that didn’t merely spread selfish genes would be invisible to them. Read More ›

Evolution, Intelligent Design, Religion
