"The tiny single celled photomunglingmiopticaliosis (not his real name)
does
this and that in order to attract a potential mate.  He does this because
he
worries endlessly that he may not pass on his genes, and therefore will
have
no one to inherit his estate, the worlds oceans.  He ponders the
implications endlessly as his tiny non existent brain hasn't the ability
to
develop worthless distractions that might otherwise give him some
respite."
Most evolutionary biology reads as though many biologists are in fact
reincarnated "photomunglingmiopticaliosis", or know someone who is.  How
else is it that they "know" the minds and motives of these things?  And,
what is truly bizarre is that having elucidated us all on the inner
thoughts, motives and desires of single celled animals, things that are
somewhat less sophisticated than jellyfish, they lambaste those who don't
accept that they have such extraordinary extrasensory zoopsychiatric
abilities.
Some time ago it was realized that if evolutionary biology did not
arbitrarily ascribe motive people would continue to ask "why?" and that
was
going to be a real problem.  Someone in the discipline evidently had read
the story of the emperor's new clothes and recognized a means to an end. 
If
only there had been an agent of the emperor's magic tailors in the crowd,
they could have lambasted the child immediately and the crowd would
follow.
There is science and there is that which pretends to be.
