Did I say "hotter"? No?
You're a student of psychology, right? Do you remember what it takes for a theory to be a good scientific theory?
Are you saying the theory of evolution is not a good scientific theory?

Organisms do NOT need qualia to detect "red" or any other color.
Cool, and once they do, it needs to be accounted for.
The theory of evolution is a great theory, specially for psychological explanations, very good at highlighting where not to look for answers.
