1. Evolutionary theory is not the same thing as the pseudo-Darwinian theory that we evolve as a result of the strong dominating the weak. This is a poor theory, and, unfortunately, still dominates thinking in this world, almost a century since Hitler. Darwin himself actually showed the benefit of cooperation for survival, and several other evolutionary scientists put more emphasis on isolation of communities in different environments as the means by which new genes appear and become sustained..
2. I see freedom in obedience to law as a pilot would. Pilots, who are freer to move in three dimensions, are aware of both the law of gravity and the law of inertia, which can produce the lift needed for freedom in more dimensions.
Thank you for the heuristic: What has God done for me? That is a powerful way to learn one's purpose and how to accomplish it!
Great class! A couple notes:
