I know it's not the main point of this essay, but I am always turned off by this appeals to evolutionary psychology. They are "just so" stories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-so_story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-so_story

From a theology standpoint, evolution being a property of existence itself means one could read Evolution as ‘God’ and the two terms become interchangeable.
