Yes, Michael Dowd, in Thank God for Evolution! writes,
”What the hell are we preaching?!”
In mid February 2007, as my wife and I were in the final editing stages of this book, Connie approached me, her face distraught. [ … ] She told me that she had been multi-tasking, listening online to the most recent sermon by by one of her favorite ministers. The sermon was on love; it was a practical sermon about how couples – and church congregations – might work to sustain love over the long haul. Connie was exasperated. “It was a good sermon, as far as sermons go,” se said, “But without a grounding in evolutionary psychology, what the hell are we preaching?!”

A gem of a quote Ms. O’Leary,
‘The sermon was on love; it was a practical sermon about how couples – and church congregations – might work to sustain love over the long haul. Connie was exasperated. “It was a good sermon, as far as sermons go,” she said, “But without a grounding in evolutionary psychology, what the hell are we preaching?!”
,,,No doubt they shortly talked themselves out of that sobering ‘moment of clarity’;
,,,I know what firmly grounds love and is completely antithetical to evolutionary thought, Jesus said:
John 15:13
‘Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.’

…a grounding in evolutionary psychology… is a guarantee of ignorance and blatant stupidity.
Sorry for stating the obvious, but that is my penchant. When I see transparently speculative BS promoted as “science” I am angered, because these clowns undercut the legitimacy of real scientists, who pursue the truth wherever it leads.
I count myself among the group of legitimate scientists who finally concluded at one point (after a lifetime predisposition to a materialistic worldview) — through reason, logic, mathematics, and evidence — that Darwinism is a dung heap of empirically unsupported speculation and illogic, inspired by a passion not for science, but a desire to remake reality.
Evolutionary psychology is the worst of the worst in terms of scientific integrity. It resides at the very bottom of the Darwinian outhouse.
