¶ Evolution
Index Entry
Evolution:
“It becomes retrospectively visible that the universe is a dynamic continually evolving process within which man himself is continually evolving. Dr. Waddington, the famous animal geneticist of the University of Edinburgh, points this out when he speaks of what he calls the ‘epi-genetic landscape,’ in which we have all of the biologicals continually altering the environment and the altered environment continually realtering the biologicals. There is manifest a chain reaction of extraordinary pattern interactions whose consequently progressive intertransforming we recognize as evolution. Evolution is both you and I and the comprehensively dynamic macro-micro environment–that is, universe. Due to entropy, the physical evolution of universe is irreversible. There are cyclic patterns which are repeated but not reversed. Only the metaphysical abstract thoughts can review and reconsider the evolutionary transformations, individually or collectively, but cannot ‘turn the clock back.’”
