a big point of Evolution is that its un-directed. That the species determine their direction themselves, weeding out the week ones and leaving the strongest. It gives us a theory that can explain a nature (enviroment) that creates itself, through natural selction, and a natural process without having to fall back on the idea of a creator. I think a big mind set for Americans is that the spiritual realm, and its gods, where needed to explain our orgin and purpose to the ancient race. But now that were so much smarter and better we don't need to rely on myths becuase we have science to explain history.
Edward O. Wilson "If humankind evolved by Darwinian natural selction, genetic chance and environmental necessity, not God, made the species." ~On Human Nature
