You misunderstand Hegel. Hegel's "synthesis" does not resolve the tensions
of contradiction by devising a new position which addresses problems of
said contradiction, it establishes a new position which _encloses_ both
thesis and antithesis, including the contradictions between them. The
motif Hegel relies on is not _selection_, it is _transcendence_. It is
simply anti-evolutionary in this regard. This is in line with Chris
Stefaniw's comment that "here you have an atheist reducing philosophy to
the level of handmaiden to theology!"
