Symptom, not foundation
Vox references some stupid "brights" (pardon the redundancy) as claiming:
...Darwin's dangerous idea provided a powerful foundation for the secular worldview.
Darwin did not provide a foundation for a worldview. Darwin's hypothesis (for it's surely not a theory) was a symptom of a worldview chosen a priori. It is this reversal of cause and effect that has allowed Darwin's idiotic myth to survive as long as it has. As Vox has correctly pointed out before, man has great capacity for rationalization ex post facto, and this is just what's going on here. Man chooses a worldview sans God, then looks for justification for his sinful choice. Evolution seemingly provides this. Man then asserts his bogus self-justification as a "foundation" for his worldview, lying even to himself about which was the cause and which was the effect.
