A theory that requires speciation to be a process of moving from the simple to the complex, by means of a random chance process, is utterly undermined by the accumulating evidence that all biological life is mind-bogglingly complex, even the so-called “simple” living systems.
Thats the tale of “the flesh”.... some of it might even be TRUE...
“The spirit” could very well be “WHAT WE ARE”... flesh being transitory..
What about “the spirit”?... which could very well be as real or more real than Dark Energy/Matter... and black holes..
We think we know that it “is there”... we just don’t know what “it is”..
WHO WE ARE?.... might be a tale not fully evident now..
The real DRAMA might be in “The Spirit”... the flesh a shell or conduit..
Evolution seems to be about “packaging”...
Which is very important for marketing..
You know... religion..
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear hosepipe!
