... does man ask why?
Originally posted by FreakyKBHEvolution pushes us to seek answers whether they exist or not. It also pushes us to seek agency whether it exists or not. It also pushes us to react more strongly to 'whys' that we believe are cause by agency than whys we believe are not caused by agency. This is why we react so strongly to terrorism and almost not at all to global warming despite the fact that the latter is by far the greater threat.
So evolution pushes us to seek for an answer which doesn't exist?
Interesting...

Originally posted by twhiteheadYour claim that evolution pushes us to pursue an answer when none exists lacks a purpose for the drive.
I don't thinking I understand you. Could you expand on that?
Originally posted by FreakyKBHWe look around and see that there is nothing in existence like us.
