We Know Evolution Happened Because

...there ... Remains A Huge Following [of Ayn Rand's Philosophy] Of Those Who Ignore The Indiscretions, Infidelities, And Moral Inconsistencies Of The Founder And Focus Instead On The Positive Aspects Of Her Philosophy. There Is Much In It To Admire, If You Do Not Have To Accept The Whole Package... Criticism Of The Founder Or Followers Of A Philosophy Does Not, By Itself, Constitute A Negation Of Any Part Of The Philosophy... Criticism Of Part Of A Philosophy Does Not Gainsay The Whole.

How Can We Find Spiritual Meaning In A Scientific Worldview? Spirituality Is A Way Of Being In The World, A Sense Of One’s Place In The Cosmos, A Relationship To That Which Extends Beyond Oneself. . . . Does Scientific Explanation Of The World Diminish Its Spiritual Beauty? I Think Not. Science And Spirituality Are Complementary, Not Conflicting; Additive, Not Detractive. Anything That Generates A Sense Of Awe May Be A Source Of Spirituality. Science Does This In Spades. (158-159)

We Are A Fluke Of Nature, A Quirk Of Evolution, A Glorious Contingency.
