@spendius,
It is a well known hypothesis that the
bourgeois type of mentality, wannabees included, are temperamentally attracted to evolutionist theories because such theories are analogous to the manner in which middle-class people think of their lives and justify them.
It is no accident that evolutionism came into vogue during a
bourgeois period. They have a career with episodes of easy to understand and self-conscious changes with an upward swing (progress) towards increasing wealth or a series of rungs on a ladder. And so life itself is readily viewed in this way.
There is even an element, often avoided at cocktail parties, if, indeed, such wits are invited to cocktail parties at all, which sees a correlation between the birth of the cosmos in a Big Bang and their own infusiorian first identity and it is but a short stretch for them to imagine that if a father was in back of the latter a Father might have been behind the former. Whether the Father took advantage of the last waltz being played in a particularly heavenly fashion I cannot say as I have no credible evidence to justify such a possibility.
Obviously feminists will say a Mother. A not unjustifiable proposition given that the female gets to give the green light in both evolution and bourgeois society. It's only the barbarians who would object to so utterly wearying a notion.
The heroine's mother in
Titanic was a barbarian in this respect. But not much can be said about the chap who interrupted the lady's plans because he won the ticket on the turn of a card. From an evolutionary point of view he was not a success which he probably would have been had he not left Wisconsin to try to climb a ladder of aspiration having been motivated by too many idiots praising his art more than a sensible person might have done.
Evolutionist theories are attractive for another reason: they are easy to understand, which is a significant advantage for silly twats, which the bourgeoise is mainly composed of as can be seen in any Laurel and Hardy film where they are portrayed. And numerous other artistic conceptions. But Rabelais did say that edifices built of twats are well nigh impregnable.
The Leveson enquiry into media ethics has found the
bourgeois so far up itself that, like a stuck dog, it can neither go forward nor backward and is talking about positioning a very expensive stent into the Straits of Hormuz.
As an explanation of life evolutionism fails a number of tests although, as one of Darwin's pals informed him, it is quite, quite amusing.
