[MD] Evolution

[MarshaV]

Greetings Joe,

Isn't evolution also related to human conceptualization?  Where does the
very word and definition of 'evolution' come from?  Isn't evolution merely
the best intellectual (scientific) static pattern of value explaining the
origin of life on Earth?  What about time?  Does evolution assume a
relationship with time?  Is time an Absolute?  No, how can it be, is it
related to change/motion?  Your view of evolution as Absolute on planet
Earth is troubling.

Hi Marsha and all. 

My story is chance.   I studied in a Catholic Seminary, College and
Monastery for 12 years. After 12 years of studying St Thomas Aquinas, I
thought I knew Philosophy.  I was married to Louise after Anna was born.  We
studied esotericism for 4 years with a lady who had studied with John
Bennett. 

Louise decided to get a BA degree so she could get a better job, and in the
course of her studies Zen and the Art was suggested reading.  She told me I
would like it.  I did, and later I bought Lila in paperback.  Then by chance
I found the forum.

I was skeptical, but something in me resonates to Quality. I think evolution
is Absolute truth on planet Earth.
