I decided to write this as I have seen too many articles promoting Evolution as the end all, of all scientific discoveries.
The truth is it is only the beginning of our understanding of the universe, as a race of humans. Evolution has always been there doing its thing for all time not just here on earth, facts point that out. This universe is so huge we could never be the only race in it.
But, we can be wrong. Evolution does not negate religion, it enhances it. What a novel thought?
How could evolution enhance religion? Well religion deals with spiritualism and spirits are what we really are…just ask any monk who has studied all his life. He knows, the western world still has trouble with that.
The fact is older civilizations than ours have known about spiritualism for thousands of years. We being of the great 20th century are better and further above them, they are peasants and workers in poor countries. But we don’t have their history, yet.
The Bhuddists, the Taoists and earlier religions took all this into account. Much has been lost but worse yet the stupidity of western learning has disregarded many of these huge databases of knowledge.
We forget that many countries and indeed man himself had his survival aided by religions. In the ancient times we went from a religion that praised idols to the current beliefs in spiritualism. They all helped civilize our world, whether we agree with them or not.
Today’s world would not exist without them. The number of religious people in the world is increasing thanks to several things. Science itself is now finding truths about life that have been known for a long period of time. People accepted those things on faith..a not very stable way to do it but it was their choice. Secondly, the state of the world, its criminality, hate, racism, wars, pestilence, mental illness, thievery, abuses of all kinds, all are increasing. Because of governmental systems based on what was believed to be true science, Eugenics.
The science of genetics was intertwined in this, Eugenics was the main reason for the second world war, and many things still are working with that as the end product. Psychiatry is bent on bringing Eugenics back after all this time, and it has almost succeeded except for a valiant few. Most of whom belong to religions.
Evolution is not wrong, it just isn’t taken in context with religion. Spiritualism experiences evolution through past lives etc, there are many “unproven theories”. But the truth is still left after all is said and done.
Our societies have flourished under religion and failed under mans own materialistic control. Today we will only survive by seeing the truth.
