I've been thinking a lot lately on the the good that comes from those who adhere to the modern evolutionary view. I wrote about some of these so-called virtues in a previous article titled, Why Evolutionists Would Make Good Christians, and what continually strikes me as odd is how often virtues that are praised by Christians are magnified in secular evolutionary thought.

The Writing is Not on the Wall

Modern evolutionary thought seems to be heavily dominated, not by the empirical sciences (i.e. archeology and chemistry), but by a type of pseudo-anthropology. It is thought that is soaked in faith and touched up with science.

We often hear of the life of prehistoric man. We know stories of the caveman who hunted and foraged for food, warred against neighboring cavemen and tribes, and were generally more animalistic and barbaric than we are today. We hear these tales and take for granted the fact that, not much is really known about prehistoric man simply because he was just that – prehistoric. The bone fragments, cave drawings, and simple tools we've discovered tell us that prehistoric man existed, but they do not tell us much about him. Simple tools and bones cannot inform us as two whether or not he wrote primitive music or dragged his prehistoric wife by the hair.  We cannot know for a fact that prehistoric man acted in any particular way.  Because of this, modern evolutionary anthropology seeks to answer questions that it simply cannot answer, not because it is an inferior science, but because there is no data.
