The focus of desire

Are you saying that religion is also something that geneticists should be studying? No, not at all. Every individual has to find their own accommodation between their spirituality and their scientific knowledge. For me personally, there is no need for a god, and a secular world view is much richer and more hopeful, but obviously there are millions of Christians and Jews and Hindus and others who have no problem integrating faith into their scientific worldview. The tragedy is that there is a strong echochamber out there that equates ‘belief’ in evolution with immorality. I suspect we have ourselves partly to blame, arrogantly proclaiming threatening ideas from selfish genes through sociobiology to social Darwinism as if they are some higher truth.
