The Evolution of Convenience
Todd Hayen
Are humans headed for extinction? When we stop evolving both physically and psychologically, where will we be? It is always assumed that evolution is a good thing. A process that is designed to create the best of the best.
Survival of the fittest and all of that.
Even if we don’t believe in the entirety of Darwin’s theory, most people are apt to believe that individual species have evolved in some way—finches in the wild develop better beaks for eating insects that have changed over millennia, or creatures develop into animals that fit and function better in a changing environment.
What about us? What are we headed for?
It seems that our focus for the past 2,000 years or so (or longer) has been to become lazier and lazier. We are compelled to adopt a position of convenience—convenience primarily through technology. Life becomes easier and easier, and even our bodies become less and less capable of dealing with physical challenges, fatter, less muscle, the proliferation of diabetes and heart disease. We physically function less and less efficiently.
Emotionally and psychologically, we see the same sort of thing. We are less and less capable of withstanding stressors in our lives, more of us are depressed, nearly everyone is anxious, ADHD is a norm for kids these days, and autism is through the roof. Autism is a product of evolution?
Well, when you see that our intellectual evolution has brought about vaccine technology, which is resulting in an astronomical rise in autism, you see the correlation.
Before examining the reasons for all of this, all we need to do at this point is acknowledge this is happening. And where does it end? It certainly is not headed toward a better human creature—a creature better equipped to deal with the challenges of life. It is headed toward the opposite of that, a creature that will not be able to survive the simplest and most innocuous of assaults. Soon enough, we will be living in plastic bubbles, then even that will not be safe enough, our immune systems will collapse entirely, and we will just die—probably within minutes of our birth. However, birthing new human babies will cease long before we simply die out due to our physical inadequacies. It will happen relatively slowly, but fast enough that we will not be able to do anything about it once it reaches critical mass.
Of course, I am not talking about “normal” evolution here. “Normal” evolution happens very slowly and is governed by the natural environment. Food sources and availability change over time, the environment shifts, weather patterns change (natural ones) and new challenges appear in the natural world. It is all organic and is a testament to a dynamic world that must always be adjusted to. Creatures develop longer or shorter limbs, different bodies, hair or feature colours, improved eating apparatus, etc.
Just so you know, I am not a believer in dogmatic Darwinian evolution. I do resonate more with the theories of Intelligent Design. But I do think there is obvious truth in creatures of a particular species adapting to a new environment. And as far as human beings are concerned, much of that environment they adapt to is man-made. We also have to consider the agenda here and its persuasions to bring humanity to its knees or to bring it to its close.
Humans can no longer evolve in the classic sense. Natural selection and all that. We don’t let humans die naturally if they cannot adapt to their environment. This empathic response is one thing that makes us human. But because technology becomes more and more advanced, taking more and more responsibility away from humans, we can still evolve, or more accurately “devolve,” into something quite different from what we were originally created to be.
So, here we are, devolving into oblivion. And most people do not care. As much as the transhuman movement touts that their purpose is to prolong our lives and make us “better versions” than the original, the exact opposite is more than likely the consequence of the movement. I’ve written enough about this before, and certainly there is a lot out there about transhumanism for all of you to immerse yourself into if you care to.
The pharmaceutical nightmare we are facing is a huge player in wiping us all out—once again a result of advances in medical technology. Replacing body parts, inserting chips, filling our bodies with “non-food,” illicit drugs, lack of exercise, on and on. Some of this is of course intended to be appealing at first glance. But, needless to say, the consequences are devastating.
And that’s just the physical story. Psychologically we are probably more of a mess than we are physically. Every “mental issue” is treated with a pill these days, and every advancement into the future is the cause for emotional breakdown—loss of meaning and purpose in life due to loss of an awareness of soul, the attempted murder of God, the breakdown of male and female physicality thus resulting in the death of the family and family values (although largely a physical issue, the impetus behind “gender identification” is mental), rampant ADHD, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, narcissism, bipolar, need I go on? To call this a mess is an understatement.
What to do, what to do. Well, we are not extinct yet. We could make a huge effort to turn all this around. But how do we stop technology? Maybe we do not need to stop it, but only regain our awareness that there is more to life than trying so damned hard to make it all as convenient as possible. I think we may have a chance if we just change our attitude a bit.
Although God promised He wouldn’t try to get rid of us with a natural disaster again (that too is now man-made) I am not sure if He intends to save us from ourselves. Although that is a debatable point—after all, humans have been a grand experiment, I don’t know if God is ready to give that up. However, most of us could kill ourselves through all this nonsense, leaving only a few behind to pick up the experiment. After all, it all started with just two of us, that’s all it takes—as long as they are not trans.

Am I on Candid Camera? Halfway through my second hop-slam beer (Yes, hop-slam is back in season.). and I could have sworn you were talking about Democrats at first! I thought it was a million years ago, give or take a few. I watched this story once before in the movie Idiocracy. You laugh and cry at the same time!
Evolution is no longer about ‘survival of the fittest’ it is about ‘survival of the most ruthless’.
You’re not telling me that becoming expert at committing genocide is a sign of ‘superior fitness’, it is merely a sign of greater inhumanity. Yet as long as the world seeks to appease and make peace with genocidal killers, they will thrive and the humane will be bumped off.
You’re not telling me that the pharmacuetical industry is any longer dedicated to human health. It’s dedicated solely to maximising profits, even if it means murdering a few million innocent duped patients along the way. That’s not ‘survival of the fittest’, it’s ‘survival of the most pathological of liars’.
You’re not telling me that John Bolton saying ‘Israel must be allowed victory, otherwise nuclear armageddon will ensue’ suggests that Israelis are ‘the fittest’, it merely says that the levels of their genocidal inhumanity are greater than anyone else.
In primitive ‘dog eat dog’ worlds of birds eating worms, lions eating wildebeest etc etc, a narrow sort of ‘fitness’ is selected for: those whose physiology allows them to catch and eat those who become their victims.
In a world where a geriatric nonagenarian can press a nuclear button unleashing death on millions they have never even met, that is not ‘the law of the jungle’, it is ‘the law of the insane’.
The current ‘non-elites’ want to murder 7 billion humans so that they can survive as a 500 million death cult.
They know everything about killing, pathetic power cultures and human sacrifice.
They know very little about culture, love and compassion.
There’s no point to any religion if culture, love and compassion are precursors to extinction, is there?
Every time I imagine oligarchic capitalism (“neo-liberalism”) cannot get worse, it outdoes my expectation in greed, sadism and permanent destruction.

Extinction ? Hmmm.
True, there is an acceleration of “things” happening everywhere.
There seems to be a pincer movement – the rush to 2030, pandemic treaty, programmable CBDC, farming controls, population replacements, you name it.
And it’s all getting more and more urgent.
All of these things are being sold to us as a progression of our existence.
Stuff that is going to to be “good for us”.
This, of course, is bollocks.
Certainly, if we go along with all this, a lot of us will be “extinct”.
But what’s happening in reality ?
I look, for an example, to the most recent experimental ground – Ireland.
A fiercely patriotic country ideal for testing the boundaries of what they can get away with.
And the Irish aren’t having it.
The rumours of our extinction have been greatly exaggerated.
If the transhumanists get their way, extinction is pretty certain. MAYBE a pocket of biological humans will survive, and it will all continue from there. But for all intents and purposes, IMHO, we are headed for the end of the human race.
Have faith: “The Creator” is not going to let some of characters destroy the whole library of stories. A few introspective humans can and will safe a majority.
Divine Love is overwhelming.
Todd.
If you had a patient on your couch that said that, what would you say to them,
Professionaly?
But when asked just how this extinction would take place, crickets and nonsense are all that is offered.
Of course God intends to save us from ourselves. That’s why Jesus Christ humbled Himself and went to the cross.
I would not argue with that.
Yes.
It seems (based on the locked in below replacement fertility rate) the human race has lost interest or rather hope and so mainly unconsciously has decided to stop.
The regime will create/grow some form of human alternative to serve more perfectly and there will be a time of transition when mankind crosses the threshold into the new human type thing (if this has not already happened) and the slave / master waltz will go on.
Whatever will come will be weird, monotonous and counterfit.
It will be either a rerun, or an increase in fierce individual competition, both of which are fatal to todays comfort ridden society.
If you believe in the fairytale of Adam and Eve then your just as lack of Evolution thought as Darwin.
A literal understanding of a mythical story is necessarily false. It’s because myths are not meant to be taken literally. In that sense, myths are to be interpreted on a deeper level, just like fairytales.
Adam and Eve never existed as two people.
The story is not about natural history, or history really of any kind. The whole Bible is about spiritual matters.
It’s literally insane to think that God would create just two people to populate this planet. First, they should have to practice incest. Second, they couldn’t survive at all without absolute knowledge of life, the universe, and everything. Like what to eat and what not to eat. ”Let’s all have this nice mushroom soup,” and the whole bunch would die. Survival wouldn’t be likely.
God is all-knowing, not stupid.
It’s really unfortunate that these names or words have been left without translation. Adam means a human being. It may also mean humanity. Eve means life.
Todd, you say “But because technology becomes more and more advanced, taking more and more responsibility away from humans …..”
I wonder,is technology becoming more advanced or is it presented to us in that light?
And technology does not take responsibility away – we do that ourselves, by choosing to give away our innate power, and choosing to not ask questions or search for answers. I refer to the majority of those who still live in denial.
You expand the nuance of my comments. We are not in disagreement.
Lets try with an example from the physical world:
In Yachtworld they previously used ropes for mooring of sailboats. These forced the captain of the said sailship to acquaint himself with the Sea and the Weather.
Convenience technology invented the rubber feather on the mooring ropes.
As a result sailors no more adapt themselves and the sail ship to the cooperation between the sail ship and the weather/sea. I have seen these types of rubber feather moorings pulling timber bridges up every winter, and those sailors with old and “obsolete” rope mooring stayed cool and made no harm. The Convenience subject.
What happen. The Boards of the Yacht-clubs make rules of forced rubber feathers on all boats, and shame the Captains who never do harm with old fashioned mooring.
Just taking this as an typical example of the “evolution of conveniences”.
“fittest” in evolutionary theory is not a synonym of “best”, fitness being just the measure of how close a match there is between a living thing’s characteristics and the constraints imposed by the surroundings it happens to find itself in, with no moral or teleological implications about progress toward some ideal or an inherent absolute value, and a term like “devolution” also has no place in this framework, suggesting as it does that some changes over generations are lessening the worth of a population according to externally imposed standards, in the subjective view, evidently, of whoever it is that’s decided things are going in the wrong direction
human beings are often described as the prime example of a species that surmounts environmental challenges with the help of general mental prowess, rather than specifically developed physical acuities, and particularly by leveraging tools, so, inasmuch as the purpose of tools is often to make it more convenient to do tasks, it seems quite natural and not at all lamentable that convenience should be on the rise
a process of biological selection is certainly very much at work today among us, since medicine is far from being able to save the lives of all children with congenital problems, and, more fundamentally, because it is not necessary for some individuals to actually die in order that their traits should be tendentially excluded from the gene pool, as selection is also a question of mating preferences, choices between more or less desirable potential partners among the living
– The specific type of intelligence in which we pride ourselves is a rarity in the natural world; this raises doubt concerning its value for survival. -Clifford Pickover 2000
– Contemporary management theory holds that intellect – wisdom, knowledge, information, competence, etc. – is critical to competitiveness. In fact, the intelligence of a hierarchy is inversely proportional to its size. Good management discourages doubt and the communication of doubt, e.g. by limiting the agenda or making a fetish of teams or leaders. Those who conform are rewarded and promoted, setting an example. Thus, the hierarchy persists until it inevitably collapses in a clash with reality. Nature is anarchic and self-organising, with no chains of command. -Dmitry Orlov 2014
– Perhaps intelligence is self-limiting, even self-exterminating. Our technology is fairly good at promoting our biological fitness – survival and reproduction – but is even better at delivering simulations of fitness such as artificial foods and vicarious entertainment. These simulations are evolving faster than our resistance to them. The focus of invention and effort is shifting from goods and services for the body to those for the mind. By allocating time and resources to pleasures rather than children, we face gradual extinction. The ones who survive may be puritans who persist with self-control and pragmatism while eschewing virtual entertainment, psychoactive drugs and contraception. -Geoffrey Miller 2006
What are we headed for? Perhaps for the future envisaged by Yuval Harari in Homo Deus.
Yes, a lot that is say in this article is inspired by Harari’s ideas.
Yuval is interesting to read because he so clearly see things from the Devil’s side.
His latest here https://www.noemamag.com/al-will-take-over-human-systems-from-within/ admits that AI is not a machine but a demon and in his opinion the majority of humanity are too weaks to resist it.
We are indeed about to go extinct:
World crude oil extraction reached an all-time high of 84.6 million barrels per day in late 2018, and production hasn’t been able to regain that level since then. Source
Conventional Oil Sources peaked in 2008 and the Shale binge has now spoiled US reserves, top investor warns Financial Times.
Preface. Conventional crude oil production may have already peaked in 2008 at 69.5million barrels per day (mb/d) according to Europe’s International Energy Agency (IEA 2018 p45). The U.S. Energy Information Agency shows global peak crude oil production at a later date in 2018 at 82.9mb/d (EIA 2020) because they included tight oil, oil sands, and deep-sea oil. Though it will take several years of lower oil production to be sure the peak occurred. Regardless, world production has been on a plateau since 2005.
What’s saved the world from oil decline was unconventional tight “fracked” oil, which accounted for 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019 and 83% of global oil growth from 2009 to 2019. So it’s a big deal if we’ve reached the peak of fracked oil, because that is also the peak of both conventional and unconventional oil and the decline of all oil in the future. https://archive.md/vU2zH

The next big thing is Venezuela which might develop up fast. Plus it’s full of useful vanadium for all those liquid batteries. I agree we are sliding down and instability will increase.
The thing they forget to tell you about Venezuela’s remaining oil reserves… is that the oil is garbage and too expensive to recover… therefore it will remain in the ground… forever…
Orinoco
In addition to conventional oil, Venezuela has oil sands deposits similar in size to those of Canada, and approximately equal to the world’s reserves of conventional oil. Venezuela’s Orinoco oil sands are less viscous than Canada’s Athabasca oil sands – meaning they can be produced by more conventional means – but they are buried too deep to be extracted by surface mining.
According to the USGS, the Orinoco Belt alone is estimated to contain 900–1,400 billion barrels (2.2×1011 m3) of heavy crude in proven and unproven deposits.[14] Of this, the USGS estimated that 380–652 billion barrels (1.037×1011 m3) could be technically recoverable, which would make Venezuela’s total recoverable reserves (proven and unproven) among the largest in the world.[15][16]
The technology needed to recover ultra-heavy crude oil, such as in most of the Orinoco Belt, may be much more complex and expensive than that of Saudi Arabia’s light oil industry.[17]
The USGS did not make any attempt to determine how much oil in the Orinoco Belt is economically recoverable.[13] Unless the price of crude rises, it is likely that the proven reserves will have to be adjusted downward.[18]

Dear Tod, the human race now is in full transition to the last stage of evolution. This transition goes not about technology, Ai of World Government nor WEF. It goes about th spontaneous connection with the dive trough a simpel processus calles selfrealisation. May be, as a Western intellectual, you cant imagine this . In fact, nobody can. Therefore is courage needed to test it. To do so: go to the website of Sahaja-Yoga.org and have a good look. There is the door to reality. Humanity is now invited to a new world where his nervous system is directly connected to God. That’s it. To manage this connection, you have to understand the new rules and conditions, the new Hygiene, the real structure of the human body, and the tremendous power of the realised people meditating in the proper way. Alle the rest is bullshit. Go there, and dare to experience it.
Hundreds of religions and thousands of interpretations of each religion.
Gimme a break.
How selfish, conceited, divisive and ignorant is it to ‘believe’ (which is not the same as knowing by the way) that your particular religion is the One True Way?
Evolution? Another one of the unsolvable mysteries beyond human comprehension. As is God, whatever God is.
Convenient to just believe and not bother searching for the Truth.
Convenient to just follow the ‘Flocks’ because that’s what our parents, friends or local proselytisers tell us.
Convenient indeed.
Those unfortunates, lacking vision and understanding of the divine spirit, the life force that is in each and all of us and every thing living and present in the universe, have not reached the level of awareness that there is a purpose to all of this and we are being tested on this trip of flesh, blood and bone. Life is an intelligence test and not everyone will get it right, too many are lured by the false promise and glitz that disguises the evil all around us. Choose that path of evil and hatred or take the other road in harmony with your soul and eternal spirit. It doesn’t matter in the end whether you “believe” in God, it only matters that God believes in you as indeed does the devil. Peace to men of good will and to hell with the demons and their apologists.
Why are the whole Earth and world’s time schedule based on “2024 after Christ, and Moses lived about 1200 years before Christ?
In every single village, city, Capitol and country on this earth we have monasteries, churches, synagogues, priests, celebrations, m.m.
In our language, our films, our songs, our music, our traditions, we constantly refers to the two opposite poles heaven and hell. Heaven is up (the sky), Hell is down (magma 2000C):
“for God’s sake”, “for Heaven’s sake”, “for Satan, damn it”, “for Hell’s sake”.
I refuse the explanation that the above is pure pro forma bs. We came from an ape?
The only answer to “the evolution of convenience” I see, is Ecclesiastes Book: “Everything you do is in vain”. Ecclesiastes Book of the Bible explains it once and for all.
All other books, Albert Camus’ “the Sisyphus myth”, Kafka’s “the Castle”, Philosophers, Authors, even our own Todd, pale in comparison with this simple little Bible essay of Ecclesiastes…………………..LOL.
No one on this Earth since Methuselah can beat it in wisdom.
Heaven is up in spirit. Hell is lack of God. These are not physical spaces or places.
Both heaven and hell can be experienced by anyone.
I can’t recommend hell, though.
Thanks for underscoring the symbolic part of it.
However, I think it does not weaken the symbolic that our view down into inner earth is of 2000 C magma surrounded by darkness, and our view up is of stars and brilliances of colourful lights.
You forgot about all the mRNA coming down the line, the transhumanism and genetic improvements. The genome will evolve until it is so corrupted as to be unviable. Then the genetic fix will be revealed to make us immortals. Then the end will come.
My dog sleeps 20 hours a day and is as jumpy and runny as he pleases during our walks. Maybe the intelligent design is not so intelligent after all?
Maybe if we leave all those profit driven hierarchies and angry sadistic gods, from which we flee into our recliners, behind us we can truly evolve into our potential.
Lazier? I think not. According to anthropology, hunter gatherers only required 4.5 hrs a day labor to provide all they needed for survival within natural Earth. And according to the new anthropology, lived with little violence and long lives with perfect teeth in octogenarian remains.
As far as physical and mental health, and “workloads”, required by the employer class, they have crafted a society for themselves that has exploited every aspect of those three categories since the Industrial “Revolution”. All just for themselves and their personal wealth and authority. Food quality, nutrition and toxic additives/pollution since 1900, have rendered food eaters corporately damaged. In the West, going back to Enclosure, commoners were and have been kept as serfs, by force of arms. The contemporary Matrix they’ve evolved us into has moved violent controls into a false consciousness, self-policing system fed by constant messaging of misrepresentations of reality.
Humans have been so alienated from nature and have so alienated themselves to cope with the system created by the oppressive dominant leader class, that in the modern world they/we now respond to representations instead of reality. Marshall McLuhan has identified this evolution to false consciousness, as a narcissistic addiction to any new thing (technology) humans see as empowering themselves. Convenience is one of those empowerments that is indeed a plague on the survival of Humanity.
But as their techno-empowerments overreach the limits of Mother Nature and fail to provide the benefits sold to us, their need to FORCE US to accept conveniences that are no longer “convenient” or empowering, has taken over. Thus all the totalitarian sh*t they are now throwing at us. But their overclocking of reality must be seen and perceived as such by us, and rejected for change to happen.
For me, we are now like Neo climbing out of the pods for the first time. Shaking our eyes clear of the shadow-makers sludge, rising to the sunlight on the surface of reality with Plato, to pat him and the Ancestors on the back for keeping our eyes on the prize. It’s time.
Sorry Todd, Autism is a product of first mercury and now aluminium in childhood vaccines.
In Autopsy children who have died and were autistic were shown to have up to 30x the norm of aluminium in the brain.
Andrew Wakefield was set up by the Murdochs (Times/Sky) using their predatory reporter Deere, BMJ stooge Davis and his brother the corrupt judge along with their government pimp Dr Death Harris. The Murdochs have big pharma interests and were directors at GSK.
Unless we all wake the fk up we are going to lose this fight big time.
Why “sorry”? Did you get the impression from my article that I was saying something different than what you say here?
No Todd, I was happy in what you wrote but felt I was maybe undermining it in elaborating. Vaccines are a big part in global control and I have studied them for over 20 years. I know the ingredients, the side effects, how big pharma uses lax past precedent results to push through new vaccines, and I know the true graphs showing vaccines are anything but safe or effective.
I also know Gates and UNICEF have used third-world countries to experiment, killing thousands and making countless women infertile.
Vaccines 100% cause Autism and they know it. By using vaccines it allows the criminals access to the brain and organs bypassing our body filters.
Unless we can get the message out that the acceleration of vaccine and RNA products is a war on humans then autism and other conditions will get far worse.
Exactly…100% with you.
Todd, You are not correct when you say:
“…God promised He wouldn’t try to get rid of us with a natural disaster again”
He promised he would not FLOOD the earth again. However,
As these days get darker and mankind implodes upon itself in all forms of debauchery and evil he will RETURN and destroy the earth with FIRE.
”Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water. Whereby the world that then was,
**being overflowed with water, perished”**
“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto
**fire** against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
”But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall
** melt with fervent heat, ** the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” **
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting
“unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”
(2nd Peter 3)
Todd, you have been blessed to be able to see what is really going on in this evil world. As you know, you are a minority. Do you know why this world is hell-bent on “self”destruction? It is because…
“the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” (1John 5:19)
The insanity you see is well thought out and performed by evil men who have chosen to serve the “g”od of this world – which at this time is ruled by Satan. Once you see that, their insane plans are not so insane after all.
Keep your eyes open and I pray one day that you keep looking until you find the only salvation and answer to this life’s woes…Your creator Jesus Christ. (John1)
Thanks Cindy. Been a bit confused about by who is actually ruling down here, God or Satan, or both at the same time.
It must be both according to your references. Satan rule those who seek and obey him down here, and God protect those who seek and serve God, and ultimately save those who repented and declared their loyalty to Christ. In overall terms the scheme yes?
But what do Satan’s followers get from suicide and self-destruction, other than showing a f…finger to God, “we revolt”.
“If God will destroy it, we will destroy it first to show we are God and do it better”??
Isnt that just naughty teenagers game?
The snake promised his followers that they would not die if they disobeyed, only be wiser on how to be God themselves. Do the Snake’s followers believe they have a future kicked out and living outside the Paradise?
Our deal with Christ is clear, but the dark followers must believe in some similar reward yes…..or no.
I’m sorry, Cindy, for my error. I was not aware of that distinction (the covenant only meant no flood to destroy the world). Now I am, thanks to you!
“He promised he would not FLOOD the earth again.”
Hmmm…wonder if God studied at Harvard Law School…
5:18 We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them.
5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
You ‘christians’ are so, so gullible! So, so brainwashed!
None of you have any idea of the actual origins of ‘christianity’ or of the actual origins of the so-called ‘bible’. If you did, you’d be so ashamed of yourselves for having fallen for it all.
The gullibility of all ‘christians’ is truly deplorable.
“””individual species have evolved in some way—finches in the wild develop better beaks for eating insects that have changed over millennia, or creatures develop into animals that fit and function better in a changing environment.”””
You are mistaking adaptation, which is real and natural, with the man made theory of evolution created by those who refuse to accept God is real. Reality supports the existence of God, otherwise there would be no need for a deceptive theory to be posited by the NSJs.
Anybody is free to believe they came from a monkey that came from some goo that formed on a rock that came from a Big Bang that suddenly turned nothing into EVERYTHING billions of years ago.
The funny thing is that those who believe that nonsense laugh at me for believing in the God that created me.
It is a feature of human hubris that we tend to look down our noses at all other creatures on this planet. Otherwise we would not be scandalized by the thought of having evolved from lesser creatures. There is nothing demeaning about it. One might wish our DNA did not match so closely that of the Chimpanzee – one of the fiercest monkeys going; otherwise, there is no shame in evolving from a monkey.
Nor is the notion of everything having evolved from a Big Bang any less credible than everything having been divinely created. Either way, something came from nothing. Not everyone finds God’s nothingness any less nothing than nature’s. Nothing from nothing is still nothing.
Something can’t come from nothing. Everything in our universe has come from something. God is eternal and hasn’t come from nothing or something.
God was never born. Our universe has been born; it has been created.
God will never die. Our universe may die; who knows, well, God would. You know, we really can’t think of God if material things are in our mind. Pure Spirit can’t be derived from created matter. If you see a painting, you still know nothing about the painter. But you know there must be one.
The fact that something exists proves the existence of the Creator.
A lot of people dismiss evolution because Darwin obsessed over competition and survival of the fittest.
Darwin didn’t go into how cooperation also serves evolution and you see this with everything from plants to animals to humans.
But no, instead those religious minded magical thinkers immediately think there must have been some sort of intelligent designer. Ok, so where does this designer come from?
You can’t solve the mystery of life by delegating it to another life lol
YOU can’t solve the mystery of life because you refuse it’s solution.
“In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.”
Charles Darwin
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change, that lives within the means available and works co-operatively against common threats.”
Charles Darwin
“Not one change of species into another is on record … we cannot prove that a single species has been changed.”
Charles Darwin
Wise comment and words from Darwin which also show Darwin was much misinterpreted and exploited for ideological and not scientific purposes.
Adaption is also the keyword from the Bible: “Adapt yourself to the conditions on earth or you will surely die“.
Learn, unlearn and relearn to survive. Most of us operate semi-consciously based on hard knocks, rules of thumb and programming (dogma, superstition, propaganda and social pressure).
