Of course, that individualist struggle is unrelated to natural selection was already pointed time ago by a serious leftist, Kropotkin.

At a time when theories of evolution are under renewed controversy, discussion is hampered by the remoteness of the phenomenon of evolution, and the use of indirect inference to speculate about deep time. Adherents of Darwinism often defend dogmatic versions of the theory that have been questioned since the first reviewers of Origin of Species.
Now Darwinism is under siege from the Intelligent Design movement, threatening the school system. The attempt to hijack the debate using long discredited arguments by design tends to make Darwinists close ranks around their flawed science. The debate is deadlocked by the rigidity of both parties, evidence of fixed agendas, and metaphysical presumptions. A new approach is needed. The study of history itself holds the clue if we can find it.
We live in the first generations with enough historical data to detect a pattern of Universal History. The discovery of this pattern, the Eonic Effect, uncovers the evidence for a deep structure resembling punctuated equilibrium in world history itself. The study of history and evolution together shows us something missing from current theories and allows us to infer the existence of non-random evolution in the emergence of man. Darwinian theory suffers from low evidence density. The Eonic Effect is the only data we have at high evidence density of evolution as a process in real time, and this transforms our views completely.
Combining the methods of complex systems and the philosophy of history, we can create a novel type of historical model, using nothing more than periodization to clock a macroevolutionary dynamic of transitions, in the process throwing new light on the descent of man.
This elegant and simple model operating on two levels can help to sort out the endemic confusion of biological and cultural evolution, along with the contradictions of historicism and historical inevitability. This account of the ‘evolution of freedom’ without metaphysics gives us the key to the evolution of consciousness. We see the real evolution of man as the Great Transition, the human passage from evolution to history, in the chronicle of the once and future Origin of the Species, Man.

The first to go would be any sort of medical testing on animals. After all, if evolution’s wrong then there’s no scientific basis for animal testing. Genetic similarities between animals and humans are purely coincidence (or the work of divine will) and should not be used as a reliable basis for making decisions on whether or not a new drug or new medical procedure is safe for human beings.

After Bush bans animal testing, he’s going to have to ban the teaching Economics and get rid of Capitalism. After all, capitalism is based on the very Darwinian notions that 1) Enterprise will expand to areas of opportunity and 2) Good products will get adopted in the marketplace while bad products will not. Capitalism posits that this cycle will lead to the creation of better and better products for every niche in society (in exactly the same way that evolution posits that a cycle of positive adaptations leads to the creation of more and more well-adapted life in every possible niche of the world).

In our new economic model, religious leaders will decide what products and services will enter the marketplace. They will use their connection to God to discern “bad” products from “good” products. Market research and product testing will be outlawed as heresy.

But imagine his reaction if the same kids got to hear both sides of the debate on, say, whether one should abstain from having sex before being legally married? Or whether homosexuality was a “valid alternative lifestyle”?

Even the greeks knew that one. Now think about the kinda cow who’d leak milk like that.
