PHILOSOPHY : Evolution and Free Will

It seems more and more these days that I find people falling into two approaches to life (well actually heaps more, but today I am going to talk about these two...)
Those that recognise the pre-eminant logic that underpins the theory of Evolution, and those that choose to live outside of the conclusions the evolution leads us to. This second group do this by either refusing to believe it exists or by using their Free Will to refuse to participate in its results.
Two excellent examples of the first group are the US and Australian governments. The US obviously believes that "might is right," and demonstrates this over and over again from one corner of the world to the other. Australia also subscribes to this view, demonstrating this by siding with the biggest bully on the block, hoping that if it can get the US to stand between it and an agressor then it might do OK. As John Stuart Mill said, to even participate in power games such as these is to reduce yourself to your most base form.
There aren't that many examples of the second group, at least not as far as governments go. Maybe the more liberal EU governments.
From my perspective evolution is an undeniable procedure that _just_happens_. This doesn't mean that, as a concious human being who can choose what action I will make in response to the events around me, I can't choose another path. A path in which teh value of all human beings is recognised, not just the powerful.

I'll continue crapping on a little later...
