A Curious Duality



         

          A Curious Duality

          Fundamentalist religion posits that the world is intelligently designed, yet fundamentalism itself evolves along Darwinian lines, with random variation and natural selection. These religions choose their beliefs at random, and those with the fittest beliefs survive. This can be seen in the capricious irrationality of fundamentalist doctrine and practice, combined with the unexpected practicality of those irrational doctrines and practices.
          Meanwhile, science posits that the world evolves along Darwinian lines, with random variation and natural selection; yet science is (at least putatively) intelligently designed!
