Question by : What have you done for evolution lately? Part 2?
This question is part two of “What have you done for evolution lately?” The original question was extended and eventually voted on. I was disappointed and surprised when only three people against the idea evolution chimed in. One person claimed they voted for Obama, which was where I was going with the question originally. I was just really just looking for witty one-liners.
I’m glad I didn’t just give the ten points to the Obama supporter because Raisemeup, the person who won the vote reached out to me. That was when I started thinking about it in all seriousness. I’m surprised at how many people disagree with the idea of evolution, and I want to challenge all of you. When I extended the original question after being blasted by a bunch of non-believers I added an additional thought, the idea that our children are born, and adapt better than us, as we adapted better than our parents.
When Raisemeup contacted me he made his point by saying that mankind has always been, and that it is just our technological advances that have changed. My wife kind of agreed with him and tied in my comment about the children. Her point was that the kids aren’t smarter, and don’t have any more common sense then we do…they just know how to work all the new gadgets.
All of that being said; I will make my final argument on the subject. If the 4.6 billion years of Earths existence were only a single day, the 40,000 years of human existence would only cover the last two seconds. One, two, that’s almost like the blink of an eye. We can’t fathom millions of years…our minds cannot wrap around the vastness of the universe, most of us will never be able to travel to the outer regions of the atmosphere and look down upon earth. I believe in God, I believe in a living energy that binds the universe together through love. However I cannot read the definition of evolution in a dictionary and deny the fact that my daughter is evolving before my eyes. Take a second now to open a new tab on your Internet explorer and look up that definition.
It’s what we do every second of every day, it’s what the trees do every spring and fall, it’s what the universe has been doing since the beginning of time. Yes we can look back 10,000 years, maybe more, and say humans pretty much look the same and probably have the same brain capacity. You can say that all that has changed is our technology. You can say that our technology is killing the earth and us. The chemicals we eat cause us cancer, the radio frequencies we use to communicate hurt sea creatures. Our unwavering thirst for natural resources is sucking the planet dry and causing reoccurring wars. All this has been for as far back as we can see and how can you call that evolution? Evolution is simply change; it isn’t defined by good or bad.
When people think about the commercial mainstream “Theory of Evolution”, we think about the fish that climbed out onto land, and turned into a monkey, that turned into a human, and life has been getting grander ever since. Evolution and change doesn’t always mean that things are getting better. Things can change for the worse. There are cancers and viruses breaking down human resistance more than ever before. I think maybe where we went wrong was when we stopped evolving and became dependent on our ingenuity. We’ve created such a dangerous environment for ourselves; our bodies are having trouble evolving in a good way. We’ve conquered Earth and all the mammoth creatures that inhabit it. Instead of moving on into the universe I see how we’ve stunted our growth and our new enemies (viruses and cancers) are evolving more rapidly and taking advantage of our sloth like state.
The universe is constantly changing and evolving, it’s like being in Time Square in New York City. You cannot stand still; you must be in constant motion. If you stop you will be pushed down and trampled upon. I believe the human race is moving in that direction. We’ve become so dependant on our ingenuity that we have stopped evolving in the middle of rush hour and we are beginning to be pushed around. It’s only a matter of time before we are pushed to the ground and trampled by the crowd that is EVOLUTION.
