Is this a veiled Battlestar G. reference? Matrix perhaps? Terminator? Here is what I say about those concepts. I love them all and can not get enough of those rich stories. However, I’ll be worried about our technology taking over our evolution not when they make Skynet, but when they make an abominable beast. Skynet is there just to make sure everyone sees it.
Perhaps influenced by any or all of these.
What I wonder is looking at the evidence we have been able to accumulate since Darwin first made his theory known is that evolution didn't happen very slowly, over long periods of time. It happened in starts and spurts usually on a global scale many times due to great "disasters" of biblical proportions.
What if the evidence we have of physical "evolutions" actually started in the spiritual dimensions and the physical is just the manifestations of a spiritual push.
Perhaps what we are interpreting as evolution is actually God's hand in motion?
What if, as images of that same God, we are doing it a bit to ourselves and when we are ready, thrust into the physical the result of a spiritual and understanding breakthrough?
