Odd Fellows
Darwin did not believe that his ability to know truth was limited by natural selection, any more than Freud thought that his ability to understand unconscious motivation was was limited by his own unconscious motivation. So we end up with Darwin and his spiritually and metaphysically retarded heirs, who devote (an interesting word) their lives to the purpose of proving that the world is purposeless, freely insisting that free will is an illusion, and absurdly affirming that only their opinion has the unique privilege of transcending their own paradigm and therefore being true.

The obvious contradiction is if there is no purpose, then all will is free will. If there is no free will then there is a purpose (or plan). How is either to be reconciled without God? Simple.
There is a vast conspiracy that controls everything - shadowy and evil (or something 'not right'. Whatever.) It provides the plan - making all puppets under the plan, providing the veneer of free will while manipulating all.
People - we are through the looking-glass.
Or something like unto that.
