"Temperate and considerate in his own life, Darwin may have sincerely believed that his biology supported traditional morality. Nevertheless, the internal logic of his theory did not allow any permanent foundation for ethics other than the struggle to survive, and for that reason his attempt to square a biological understanding of ethics with traditional morality is ultimately unpersuasive... Darwin's account of the moral sense ultimately implies the abolition of transcendent moral standards."John West, Darwin Day in America, pp. 30-31
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; a
nd what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?
Micah 6:8
