We have seen from our previous podcasts that the world appears to be cruel, brutal, and downright crazy. But can I make such a judgment call? Isn't my desire for mercy, morals, order and justice simply genetically-programmed? These sorts of traits are evolutionarily adaptive for social animals. I think worrying about the mechanism for how a particular trait got into us is a distraction. God can move through evolution to place such "cosmic-level" values in us so that we can communicate with God. So I do have freedom; freedom to make the call that something is off-kilter with this world. Freedom to yearn for something different.
