I am. You abandoned Darwin for Dickens pretty fast.

Hey, too bad he didn't write a "A Darwin Day Carol," huh?

Wonder how that would have gone:

Life after death? Bah, humbug.

Meaning in life? Bah, humbug.

A foundation for ethics? Bah, humbug.

Free will? Bah, humbug.

"Naturalistic evolution has clear consequences that Charles DARWIN understood perfectly. 1) No gods worth having exist; 2) no life after death exists; 3) no ultimate foundation for ethics exists; 4) no ultimate meaning in life exists; and 5) human free will is nonexistent." ( PROVINE W.B., "Evolution: Free will and punishment and meaning in life." Abstract of Prof. William B. Provine's 1998 "DARWIN DAY address, "DARWIN Day" website, University of Tennessee Knoxville TN, 1998).
