Limiting the Evolved Brain
To take amoeba-to-atheopath evolution to its logical conclusion, free will is impossible because we are only bundles of chemicals responding to our electrochemical impulses. Some atheists and evolutionists admit this, while others are resigned to their imagined naturalistic fates but still complain about free will in the Bible (based on their misconceptions). Another contradiction is that, although we are slaves to our chemistry in their eyes, some commit a category error by searching for areas in the brain where free will "resides" — but it is not physical, it is spiritual. And then, morality is evolved into our brains. My brain hurts.
There is no ultimate, consistent basis of morality in evolution. (Some tinhorns will even call people "evil" and "liars" when they are disallowed from posting any libelous comment they feel like — their "morality" is based on their opinions and emotions, not facts.) There are more contradictions in the article linked below, where Darwinists say that we are what we are, including morality and prejudices, because of evolution. But we must overcome evolution to fit in with current societal trends. Makes as much sense as drinking downstream from the herd.
