Edna St. Vincent Millay got it right (Sonnet xi):
Lewis wrote a charming satirical poem on social Darwinism, but about Darwinism itself he evidently understood nothing. In another place (I forget where) he argues that since male sexual potency & desire are far in excess of the actual need for impregnating women, they must have been inflamed by Satan at the time of the Fall.
If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.
Whether of not we find what we are seeking
Is idle, biologically speaking.
