Sacrifice in Evolution

This article gives me a little hope that the contemporary worldview, entirely built on Darwinian supposition, can actually be influenced. I don’t write to address whether or not the worldview is “correct” – as if such a determination was accessible – but that this worldview is fact, and therefore needs to be addressed, wrestled with, and worked with and through. I think that is what Coakley asks for when she mentions better engagement with evolutionary theory.

I especially like the author pointing out that sacrifice is “irrational”, and is also found in natural and evolutionary theory. So much for telling the entire world that everything must be rational. Let’s get over ourselves a bit.
