Yes. It is, of course. I have written somewhere on it, long ago though so I don’t recall where. In short, that we can cognitively construct and desire ideal states is a natural and expected product of evolution by natural selection. It in no way entails there is an ideal state to be achieved. The argument is thus a standard non sequitur that is, again, scientifically illiterate.

You’ve written a very nice refutation of this non-sense. And there is another argument you never talked about. The Argument from Desire by C.S Lewis. What do you think about this one? Is it non-sense just like the others?
