The biologist Jerry Coyne had this to say about the philosophical implications of evolution:
"Evolution is unique amongst the sciences because it strikes people in the solar plexus of their faith directly. It strikes them at the idea that they are specially created by God, because evolution says you’re not; it says that there’s no special purpose for your life because it’s a naturalistic philosophy; we have no more extrinsic purpose than a squirrel or an armadillo. And it says that morality does not come from God; it is an evolved phenomenon. And those are three things that are really hard for humans to accept, particularly if they come from a religious tradition." Advindicate
Thou hast granted me life and favour,
and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Job 10:12
