The Axial Age

From Darwiniana

One of the major faults of Armstrong’s book on the Axial Age is the complete silence on the subject of evolution. Examine the index, nothing on Darwin, Darwinism.
This is not an accident. As I noted several months ago, Armstrong and Eugenie Scott have interacted.
It is impossible to grasp the issues of the Axial Age without bringing in the issues of evolution, a point requiring some study. But obviously that is taboo, and one of the apparent strategies of Armstrong’s silly book is to efface anything controversial.
There is some manipulation going on here, though I can’t quite pin it down exactly.
Now, if you follow this game, you can put two and two together fairly easily.
Obviously, Armstrong has been ‘fixed’.
I find it interesting that I had a long debate on evolution and Axial Age at the Anthro-L list about two years ago, and was banned from the list, after an incident with the NCSE people there. Obviously the NCSE became aware of the Axial Age threat.

Moral: They don’t want you to figure out the Axial Age. Anything on that scale shows something that is not supposed to exist, and which seem rightly makes a mockery of Darwinism applied to the descent of man.
Note that religious groups are equally hostile to the Axial phenomenon.
