Materialism of the Gaps sub-discussion: the morality debate

Oh well, it looks like reductionist materialist evolutionary psychology may be rearing its ugly head here. From an editorial in the leading science journal Nature:  

"With all deference to the sensibilities of religious people, the idea that man was created in the image of God can surely be put aside." In other words, like Laplace they are saying that God is an unnecessary hypothesis. The true meaning of their editorial statement is really "the ideas of any and all spiritual belief systems and other belief systems that deny materialism can surely be put aside". 

and the editorial goes on to claim

"…the idea that human minds are the product of evolution is not atheistic theology. It is unassailable fact." 

Of course this is the gospel of Darwinism. Evolutionary psychologists have analyzed many aspects of human culture and thought, from altruism, to adultery, autism, rape, jealousy, monogamy, and of course, quite prominently, religion. Traditional views of human nature and culture have been assailed by evolutionary psychologists, who are never at a loss for theories as to how our values and traditions have been caused by Darwinian mechanisms–the struggle for survival of bipedal hominids on the savannah. In reality these hypotheses are mostly Darwinian just-so stories and ingenious speculation. A question comes to mind: what is the evolutionary psychologists’ explanation for evolutionary psychology? More broadly, what is the evolutionary explanation for athiestic materialism? 

Of course, if evolutionary psychology is right, all spiritual belief systems are fantasy, NDEers need to go in for serious mental therapy, all the parapsychologists need to find new careers, and all the proponents on Psience Quest need to find other forums where they can get real and concentrate their minds on some other more productive subjects.

Not only that, but the sceptics and atheists and conventional psychologists too would also be included in that last paragraph. The whole of humanity would be consigned to the asylum.
