The following is from RSRH's commentary on Bamidbar 25:
3 And Israel attached itself to the Ba'al Pe'or, and the anger of God
was stirred against Israel.
The cult of Pe'or is an illustration of the type of Darwinism that glories
in man's descent to the level of the beast, where, stripping himself of
his Divinely-given nobility, he comes to regard himself as merely a higher
species of animal.
