Some don't like the idea of biological evolution because it portrays the development of species as being controlled by a natural process rather than God.
Poor God. I hope that our supreme control over thoughts is never threatened by a theory that argues some natural process is involved in the development of ideas.
We would have to prove this theory wrong by smiting it with our absolute POWER!
Starboard:
There is actually a strong argument that ideas do develop through a process of replication and selection as they are spread from mind to mind.
The evolving ideas are called memes.
Port:
What?
I believe whatever you just said was annihilated by my mind.
