| There are some broad assumptions in your thesis, which I'm going to over look so that I can jump to the comment on 'belief' in evolution. Evolution displays some interesting and remarkable variables in general. The processes of evolution are simple, observable, and subject to factual analysis ... which are not as subject to controversy as you suggest, origins are but that is another matter entirely. Living forms consistently, individually and as groups adapt and change in ways that are beneficial for the specific form of living thing or they cease to exist. This is not under dispute. Living things are subject to forces that leave them no option in this regard and they are not independent but interactively engaged in the process. The limits are endemic to each individual case, each group's condition, and with regards to life itself. Non-living entities which are material substance tend to do the opposite by tending more toward stagnancy and a return to singularity. Non-living entities which are not material. (thought, awareness, conscience, experience, philosophy, social systems, political systems, theological systems etc), however, do follow the basic rules of the evolutionary process with one exception... they are not subject to the limitations imposed upon biological forms. |
