Can we please have some MoQ responses to this:

Is this an accurate reckoning of MoQ's understanding of the "evolution" of a 
human life, and more importantly how that human life compares to other life 
during its "evolution"?

A little help here MoQers? DMB? Ron? Arlo? Anyone?

It makes MoQ sense to me, I'd like to know if its MoQ. If it is, it answers quite 
clearly I think the entire "life" issue I identified at the outset as the underpinning 
of subsequent discussion.
