Scientists have motives for making 'discoveries' to further their fields and defending the discoveries already made. No one wants to admit they were wrong. But evolution has a stronger motive being it-- the denial of God and desire not to be held accountable to His judgment. In an article titled "Confession of a Professed Atheist," Aldous Huxley wrote:
I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption... For myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality.
