There are no shortcuts. Those of us who do not submit ourselves willingly to suffering by discipline shall be made to suffer unwillingly. I, too, am guilty.
The hubris of modernity--encompassing nearly the entire scientific movement--is the implicit assumption that physics lies at the root of the phenomenal world, and that principles of ethics and behaviour flow from it. This is exactly backwards.
God did not come up with a bunch of physical laws, from which chemical and then biological laws were derived, only to create men inside of that system giving them principles of good living which would work inside of the system. Ditto for the materialistic assumption that evolution did the same. The modernist, starting from such assumptions, thinks discipline and self-control, moral and good living in general, to be at most rules of thumb (“love thy neighbour is good business,” “iterated prisoners' dilemma,” etc.) following from the “laws of nature.” He believes that there is a shortcut to biological immortality, to health without discipline, to hedonism without consequence, just around the corner. That every single attempt ever has failed, is to him merely an indication that a small mistake was made last time from lack of knowledge or lack of investigation, but that now he knows better and this time it will succeed.
Instead, we may say that God wanted a godly, rational (“noetic”) being in the first place and created the laws of nature so that they would house that man and support him in that cause.
That is the real reason why the shortcuts always turn out to be dead ends. THAT is the fundamental law of nature, biology merely flows from it. Physics is merely what it needs to be, to support Man's body with biology and his mind with wonder. Truly, it is as the Church teaches: God really did create the cosmos for Man.
The heavens declare His glory, as do the atoms!
