Brumar, my admiration for you grows with every single pearl of wisdom you generously toss my way.

I am an idiot compared to you, but I had the CRAZY notion that evolution is defined as the change in the inheritable traits in a population of organisms over succeeding generations.

Unless I am sadly mistaken, there doesn't seem to be anything in that definition relating to atheism or politics.

You are the go-to guy, so maybe you can help me!

Exactly how have these atheistic liberals "burdened" evolution with metaphysics and philosophy? I guess what I'm looking for here is simply a link to a paper I can read, published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, where a researcher/scientist either identifies himself as an atheistic liberal and/or burdens his prose with metaphysics.

Thanks so much!!!

Your humble student,
Bill Wexler
