To take an aspirin for a headache, and then to repudiate Darwinian evolution, is hypocrisy. For aspirin’s work in our bodies, and the biochemistry of the willow tree from which it is derived, are inextricably bound to evolution. To drive a car and repudiate evolution is hypocrisy. For the car consumes fossil fuel, the knowledge, extraction, and use of which are, again, bound to evolution, which explains the formation of petroleum from ancient sea creatures. If we live in the modern world, enjoying the fruits of science, then we cannot reject its theories.
