The “March of History” is better defined by evolution than by anything else

Today's conservatives won't mention ethnic or racial conservatism and the biological origin of social behavior which is at the root of real conservatism. Only Pat Buchanan has the courage to mention it, but then he falls back on a universal sinful fallen nature and the imperfectibility of man as the moral root of conservatism, which weakens conservatism.

Human nature evolved to be genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

But the principles of conservatives are largely sound, conservative's believe that there exists a legitimate presumption in favor of things long established. Theological materialism is not a rebellion against the old moral order, indeed, evolution depends upon the old moral order retaining any good evolutionary changes or mutations - - - an unstable society cannot evolve easily, during war, for example, survival and reproduction decreases.

Some conservative's think that “natural law” is an inadequate basis for political authority, but I would turn that around and say that the moral order without consideration of the natural law of evolution and the biological origin of social behavior is an inadequate basis for political authority.

We can be moralists, but also naturalists, evolution is central to ordered evolution. I think the “March of History” is better defined by evolution than by anything else. We evolve to ascending levels of real Godhood by way of material evolution, with ups and downs along the way. 

To ignore the natural laws of evolution is to ignore the cosmos and life in the cosmos, and if we do ignore evolution, the eternal laws will operate, in any case, for good or ill, regarding human ideals.
