Send us a textThomas Henry Huxley is known to history as "Darwin's bulldog" for his powerful advocacy of Darwinian thinking while Darwin's ideas were being attacked and even ridiculed by those in the entrenched  religious and academic establishments of 19th century Britain.In this episode, contributing editor Slainte na Zdorovya argues that evolutionary thinking, although it has been widely accepted in the world of natural science, is still facing stiff opposition from many modern intellectuals in the social sciences and humanities, who still believe that intelligent-design thinking, with themselves as the intelligent designers, still applies outside of the natural sciences, and that without the guiding hand of these designers, motivated by good intentions, Earthlings will not be able to achieve social order and good outcomes.  We believe the paradigm is shifting away from intelligent design thinking and towards evolutionary thinking, as evidence and logic continue to pile up in support of the new way, and that Earthlings should feel grateful to Huxley and his ilk for creating the momentum.
