Evolution and Purpose


Science has described evolution as random change without purposive direction and without inner direction. I think there is also a guiding force in the selection process.

Science and the synthesis of evolutionary biology with genetics have said that inward genetic mutations create the genetic diversity which supplies the raw material for natural selection to act upon. Perhaps it is here that direction and purpose also help influence mutations, along with the other causes of mutations. Both intuition and empiricism can be applied in studying this subject.

I am speaking of the Spirit-Will as that influence in activating life to evolve to Godhood, shaped by evolution. Entropy can influence but not kill this drive, it always rises with life, seeking to activate life to Godhood.

I have used the awkward word “outvolution” to distinguish this purpose from the rigid random chance applied to the word evolution. In any case, direction and purpose need to be included in evolution.
