The end result of "faith" in an evolutionary process that puts ME at the apex is that I become the source of all value and voila, you've got the modern age of competitive subjects, isolated away from wholeness, freed from all gross superstitions except the one - that *I* am fundamentally real. Hi John, Can't tell if this is a jab against Essentialism :-). But yes, I can't put my "faith" in an evolutionary context, it doesn't make sense to me. It fractions my view of reality and isolates. It was a tough road, as I am a modern biologist.
