“DARWINISTS for the most part still fail to recognize with T. H. Huxley in ethics something which should seem both an obvious fact and also an inescapable contradiction for Darwinism. On both counts ethical force, to recall Huxley’s words, is “the checking of the cosmic process at every step” and a substitution for it of another—the end of which is not the survival of the fittest . . . but of those who are ethically best.” Darwinists have no answer to this dilemma because the only answer—the recognition of a spiritual order in which man is more than mere matter—cannot come within their ken, a ken constructed to the specifications of strict materialism.”
~S. Jaki: Angels, Apes & Men, Ch. II.
