More on Darwin\'s famous book. Why does it matter for philosophy, beyond providing an alternative to intelligent design? Is it really anti-religious? How can well tell if it\'s really a scientific theory? Talking about a species evolving trait\\xa0X\\xa0to enable survival sounds teleological; is it really, and is that bad? Why would the mind develop through natural selection?
