I wholly disagree, it is myopic to believe that evolution explaining the diversity of extant life is the same as evolution explaining all behaviour. Evolution inherently involves random variables (and a lot of them) and those random variables denote things for which there is not a full explanation. Misunderstanding the scope of what is explained by TOE is quite obviously going to lead to a lot of very silly conclusions. In short my preference for The Offspring to Nirvana is predicated upon evolution, it is not explained by it.
The same error could be observed if one were to ask "Why is Clifton Suspension Bridge structurally sound?" and receive the answer "physics".
