One reason Darwinism fails on the spot
Discussion of Kant vs ’spirit world’ intuitions
One of the reasons a theory of evolution based in scientism like Darwinism fails so totally lies in the question of who man is, and his real ‘evolutionary psychology’ which includes endless non-experiences/intuitions of occult questions.
Evolutionary psychologists (the most extreme cases) have themselves virtually admitted what the record shows: man became man with language, art, cognitive advances, and a bent for beliefs in the spirit world.
We can’t avoid this fact (and don’t need to validate the multiple forms of this, indeed all too often degenerating into false beliefs). Man’s confusion here is chronic, and science hasn’t resolved the issues.
The regime of the Skeptics attempting to amputate all this as superstitious is doomed to fail, and simply leave scientists behind.
One can only recommend the Kantian style of approaching these issues, and without delay. If scientists put the creature homo sapiens’ back to the wall he will simply reject science and revert to ‘normal’. Scientists could be more helpful if they stopped promoting reductionist propaganda and confront the human species for what it is.

Add music to the list. They have recently found found a 35,000 year old vulture bone flute in Germany.

Good point. The aesthetic dimension of human evolution is one of the most elusive, in part because the nature of that dimension remains obscure.

There’s music and then there’s music, what was done 35000 years ago is one thing, the album Images & words by the band Dream Theater is quite another to be sure.

I’m not worthy of you because I will never be able to look at you from the same vantage is one way to put it, the other way is to say that I am worthy only of myself.
