implications of evolution for example
Some philosophers and scientists believe that the truth of an idea is unrelated to human evalutions of the worthiness of the idea's consequence. Politicians, on the other hand, typically assume that ideas with bad consequences are false - or at least they argue that way in public.

Some well-known examples include the [[theory of evolution]], which is valuable for [[atheist]]s and [[materialist]]s looking for an excuse not to believe in [[God]] or an [[afterlife]]. If [[human being]]s did not evolve naturally but required an [[intelligent designer]] to produce them, then it's hard to justify one's lack of [[faith]] or refusal to adopt and practice a [[religion]]. Hence, the value of evolution: it provides a tidy intellectual justification for refusing to accept a [[Creator]].
