If we say that GR+QFT+IC+Evo is true - this is a problem, since evolution seems to only care about survival and reproduction - not truth. So how do evolved beings like us arrive at a true theory like that?
Because inferring from one thing to another is very useful evolutionarily and inference is just preserving the truth of the premises. The premise will not in general be an inference, it will be some direct experience,"I see bear." But language and inference allows us to learn from others and to reason "Bears can't climb trees. Therefore if I climb that tree the bear can't get me."
