learned from past tragic events for one reason: many of us have not evolved to think beyond biological survival and self-preservation. And as we shall discover, nothing is going to change until we all know the difference between a biological survivor and a true human survivor, between self-preservation and the survival of the species. Only and only then do we realize that our conditions will start to improve as a result of our own efforts and planning. In essence, our lives and the lives of future generations will greatly depend on the universe we create on our own. The goal of this essay is to offer a few suggestions on how this task can be accomplished. Early on, we have talked in the first chapter about a force I called the continuous creation. This force never leaves us and is prevalent everywhere. It did not allow matter or particles to stay inactive; it does not allow living things to stagnate neither. Like it or not this is the way things are. Biologists tell us that species evolve in such a manner where survival is foremost on their mind. This may be true at a certain time of the life of a particular species. But, the initial stage of evolution is triggered by the same force that created this universe. Let me give you a simple proof: bacteria are more resilient than any other living things known to us; they did not have to evolve, yet they did, and they are still around and perhaps will be able to survive forever. The same goes for plant biology, from a survival perspective, plants are a lot safer in or under water, yet they are everywhere, even in the desert. The reason: staying nothing but a bacterium or a moss implies stagnation! As in the case of physical existence; stagnation is not allowed in the biological world either. Simply put: matter is forced to transmute, split or fuse; biological forms are forced to evolve. One more thing: according to the theories of evolution, species should become better adapted at survival as they evolve; in most cases the opposite happens. You know what I am talking about when you observe how hundreds if not thousands of species had died off since the evolution began on this planet, where on the other hand, many insects and bacteria which did not evolve; nonetheless, are still with us today. Note that the majority of the extinctions took place long before humans began to impact the environment. Contrary to evolutionary beliefs, evolution does not ensure survival; nor does it introduce law and order. I suppose one could propose that there are two sorts of evolution. One happened to be entirely related to an all-encompassing force which we called the continuous creation. The other is more tangible and completely connected with the way a particular species evolves to improve its chances for survival. The former has nothing to do with survival and is only interested in creating different images, different experiences through different beings. In fact one may be tempted to call this type of evolution: creative biology. It is only meant to create a new world, or a different universe, which is capable of introducing beauty, joy, happiness, fun and pleasure to a rather dull, harsh and brutal environment. We as a species are the perfect example of how a species that aspires to transcend beyond biology may evolve. It is so amazing to see how simple biology is able to transform itself and evolve beyond stagnation - owing this astonishing feat to the ultimate force of continuous creation. What is more astounding is to note how all this action takes place while the focus of the latter mechanism is to keep the species alive. One can clearly deduce that the dual personality of every human being, the struggle between beauty and brutality, the fight between creativity and destruction, the dispute between right and wrong and all other contradictions experienced by every individual, if not every living form, go back to the beginning of times. Indeed, they are not the products of any particular race, culture or era. Regretfully, one may also deduce that no species, humanity in particular, is going to be free of this never ending dilemma.
As much as evolutionists and creationists disagree with each other, they both share one thing in common: their goal is to prove that there is law and order in this world, where in fact, chaos rules and disorder prevails. The irony is that in many cases, their effort ends up adding more destruction and atrocity to a place already rife with violence, hardship, injustice, corruption, suppression and oppression - in addition to confusion, insecurity and uncertainty. Nonetheless, biologists are right in one aspect: all living things are committed to staying alive. Humans are no different. The only exception is that at one point in time humans must have realized that to survive they must thing beyond biology. We shall discuss how this took place later on; for now let’s find out how life could have evolved.
The forces of nature such as gravity and electromagnetic, even life itself have been created by coincidence as result of random interaction of certain massive systems or particles or elements or substances, however, the reason these forces do exist happens to be the over encompassing force we have called the Continuous Creation. This force has always been in existence and always will be. In fact, as observed earlier, the entire universe or universes are better identified by giving them the name: Continuous Creation - since everything that exists is always in a state of motion or continuous creation. Whether the big bang took place or not, whether the seeds of life on this planet were carried from a faraway planet and subsequently implanted by a comet or not, whether the entire solar system would one day collapse; the process of creation never stops. Even if one were to believe that all things living were obliterated by the huge explosion caused by the big bang, one cannot rule out the possibility that life somehow could have made its way back to our universe from a faraway zone that is unknown to us which we may call the infinite universe. Once we can establish that there are two universes: ours and the infinite one, we should have no problem deducing that our universe is only a zone of this infinite universe or this Continuous Creation - that is presently unfathomable to us.
Although made of elements, life is completely different from matter. First of all, unlike matter, life does not exist everywhere. Secondly, not only is life fragile, it is as well destructible. Yes, life may have been around forever and will be around forevermore, but unlike matter, it is not immune to destruction. In other words, immortality does not necessarily mean indestructibility.
Left in this precarious situation, intuitively, life had to do more than transmute and stay active. Certainly, not by choice but by necessity, life had to branch out into millions of forms if not billions. The creation of all these forms, we call species, was made possible by the gene’s ability to evolve and transform itself into a completely new forms better equipped to survive all the challenging changes that are always occurring in the environment. This arrangement works extremely well and makes perfect sense. Life on this planet is a perfect example of how effective and clever this strategy is. In every corner of our globe, life is clearly represented by a different species that is able to spread into different territory as soon as an opportunity to do so presents itself. We have species that make the desert their home. There are animals and mammals that enjoy living in the North Pole; where others are comfortable to be in the South Pole. Despite over fishing, the oceans are still teeming with living forms we are yet to discover. There is life even at the deepest of our oceans. Recent discoveries have revealed that some bacteria and fungi are able to stay dormant for thousands of years only to spring back to life at the right conditions. Actually, this was the reason behind the death of many individuals after Howard Carter opened the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Apparently, they were stung by an insect that was able to survive by feeding on a mold that grew on the coffin. Later on, as a result of the insect bites, they developed a deadly infection that medical science of the time was not able to deal with. This discovery and other new ones are proof that life in general terms can be transported from one planet to another whenever it happens to cling to a comet or an asteroid. Not only did life evolve to survive on this planet and other planets, it has also developed the mechanism to survive an interplanetary and galactic journey. Deep in the earth crust one may find a thriving community of microorganism that survives on all sorts of minerals. But life is not only about biological survival. As stated earlier, if this was the case, insects and bacteria would the best suited to stay alive. Indeed, even the most adapted creatures or animals that happen to exist or had ever existed on this planet are no match to these tiny critters when it comes to surviving beyond the confine of this planet. Part of the reason that the human species is interested in colonizing new planets can be easily attributed to survival. Deep in our subconscious mind, we know that this planet and the solar system are going to disappear one day. Our efforts to discover more hospitable planets are perfectly logical. The more planets we colonize, the more chances we create for our survival. In fact, one may argue that in view of our intuitive interest to move beyond this planet and our insatiable desire for adventure and exploration can only be
