For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; Romans 1:16
"Darwinism was never merely a theory of biology. It is in its very DNA a form of process-metaphysics popularized by early 19th century philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
Its logic (usually called the Dialectic) embraces contradiction (A and not-A) in order to maintain the illusion of an immanent self-grounding, ever-ascending, autonomic reality; it will not stop at the “water’s edge” of biology. By its own logic it must expand into a Theory of Everything (TOE).
Materialist science wanted a world without an originating Mind, but they ended up with a world that is nothing but the operation of Mind-like Process – a “logic” that creates objectivity as it goes.
The Darwinian TOE is a closed loop:

The Darwinian TOE is a closed loop:
Biology is explained by Selection.
Quantum Reality is explained by Selection.
Cosmology is explained by Selection
Q: But what does “selection” mean if there is no stable reality doing the selecting?
First proposed by theoretical physicist Lee Smolin in 1992, and further detailed in his 1997 book The Life of the Cosmos, Cosmological Natural Selection (CNS) attempts to explain the “fine-tuning” of the universe’s physical constants without recourse to the Anthropic Principle or, critically, to a Designer. Smolin’s model relies on three primary pillars:

Smolin’s model relies on three primary pillars:
1) Reproduction: New “baby universes” are born inside black holes. The singularity of a black hole in a “parent” universe triggers a Big
Bang in a “child” universe, creating a branching lineage of spacetimes.
2) Variation: The fundamental constants of physics (e.g., the strength of gravity, the mass of the electron) are not fixed but undergo slight, random “mutations” during the transition from parent to child.
3) Selection: Universes whose constants are “fit” for producing many black holes will have more offspring. Over vast stretches of “cosmic time,” the population of universes in the multiverse becomes dominated by those optimized for black hole production. Smolin argues that because the conditions required to produce black holes – such as the existence of heavy elements like carbon and the longevity of stars – are nearly identical to the conditions required for life, human existence is a ‘natural byproduct’ of the universe’s own reproductive success.
We are reduced from the Imago Dei – beings designed to perceive and steward the truth – to “generalized proteins” whose only value is our potential role in helping a 3+1 dimensional spacetime “organism” to replicate itself."
