All,
In three volumes, the first published in 1994, the evolutionary psychologist,
Kevin MacDonald presented extrensive evidence that Judaism is an evolutionary
strategy. He was most recently cited 4 times in David Sloan Wilson's Darwin's
Cathedral. No one has disproved his basic premise, though many have
distanced themselves from his books because they are afraid of being called
anti-Semitic, a label which has become almost meaningless since anyone saying anything
about any aspect of Judaism is labeled an anti-semite. (e.g. mel gibson).
I have argued here that Christianity fulfilled and did not abandon the Old
Covenant. It remains for Christians to understand that Judaism IS an
evolutionary strategy, that Darwinian evolution is completey compatible with Judaism and
to work out the practical and profound implications for Christianity, since
Christianity does fulfill and not abandon the Old Covenant.
My attempt to kick start the inquiry into Darwinian evolution and
Christianity here is represented by my paper True Religion (the one I offer to anyone who
will take it) in which I present an evolutionary interpretation of two
allegories in Genesis, one regarding personal religion (the self sacrifice as it
originated in the Fall - a scientific universal - it appears in all the major
religions) and the other communal religion (the allegorical source of
Judaism's "evostrat").
People like Dawkins are leading you completely away from religion but they
don't take into account the fact that Judaism is an evolutionary strategy,
because the social pressure is too great. That means many people will abandon
Christianity in the face of atheistic challenges they cannot counter before
appreciating its practical utility, a practical utility that is scientifically
documented.
