[[I was never totally sold on the idea of evolution, but watching civilization descend into barbarian mayhem and mob rule sure looks like devolution]]
Devolution would be loss of genetic information, a scientific possibility which can and does often happen, macro-evolution, a gain of non species specific information is not a scientific possibility except in cases of symbiotic relationships, where a parasite invades a system and coexists with a host species which of course isn’t evolution for various scientific reasons
But alas,
[[Humanity made some great strides for awhile, now it is crashing into a gutter and they WANT it to go there!]]
Precisely, it’s very sad to watch it happening right before our eyes, in just 6 short years (it had been happening before then too, but it was very slow and gradual- these last 6 years though have seen a massive increase and speed to this slide into depravity)
“Devolution would be loss of genetic information”
Spiritually this seems to be almost exactly what is happening - metaphorically of course. Humans are forgetting their origen , their history, thier God. Searing their consciences, rebelling against sanity and common sense and reason. And yes, a lot of damage has been done in six years. It’s very hard to watch this happening and wonder where it ends for this country - and the world.
