Chapter 111 18.5 Evolution explains everything

The idea of ​​evolution is so powerful and so universal, it seems to be behind everything.The legendary archaeologist Teilhard wrote: "Is evolution a theory? Is it a system? Or a hypothesis? It's not the case. All theories, hypotheses, and systems must take evolution as the basic principle before they can be true. Evolution is the light that shines on the world. , the beacon that guides all things. It is for evolution." Yet evolution's role of explaining everything casts a religious shadow.Bob Crosby of the Washington Society for Evolutionary Systems puts it bluntly, "Wherever people see the hand of God, we see evolution."

Evolution and religion have many similarities.The theoretical framework of evolution is self-contained, rich, almost self-evident, and indisputable.Various small local associations sprung up and met on a monthly basis, as did the larger Crosby association.Author Mary Midgrey begins her short book Evolution as Religion with these four sentences: "Evolution is not only a backwater in theoretical science. It is—and has to be—a question about the origin of man. An Xeon legend. Any story has to have a symbolic meaning. We're probably the first culture to de-emphasize that." She is not trying to question the truth of the theory of evolution, what she is against is talking about what this powerful theory has done to us humans in disregard of the logic of evolution.

I am convinced that it is this unproven evolution—no matter where it came from or where it is going—that is shaping our future in the long run.I have no doubt that when the inner nature of deep evolution is revealed, it touches our souls.
