Freedom evolves?
History And Evolution: The Eonic Effect
Arguing with Darwinists can be extremely frustrating because of the low level to which science education has taken its cultic fans. Thus we are treated by Dennett to a dogmatic claim that natural selection will resolve the question of free will. This view, absurd at its core, simply by assertion into the book of Darwin fictions, with no further doubt possible.
It is this kind of behavior that is making many quietly leave science for religion
Freedom evolves? The discrete freedom sequence One of the striking features of Darwinian thinking lies in the rote application of selectionist and adaptational thinking to all circumstances and situations, the series of ‘Just So Stories’ that purport, without direct observation, to explain complex features of organisms seen in nature. With human evolution this becomes an increasingly strained activity, amounting to little more than the fiat of methodological naturalism. A good example is the inevitable conclusion, as in Dennett’s Freedom Evolves, that free will evolves by natural selection, as an adaptation! Not a shred of evidence is offered for this incoherent deduction from speculative selectionism. As we close in on the eonic effect we can actually produce a counter-example, the so-called discrete freedom sequence, showing a macroevolutionary component to the emergence of freedom, in the process defining human evolution in terms of the idea of freedom taken together with causality as a chord of two opposites.
