There is a hierarchy of values beginning with the sacred drive or will (Tirips) to materially evolve toward ascending levels of Godhood. Survival and reproduction follow this beginning material drive. Everything follows this natural hierarchy.
Those who believe in the complete randomness of evolution, the vast majority of scientists, often make dismissive comments regarding any kind of direction to evolution, usually in footnotes to show its unimportance to the text, but then the footnote’s are often emotional and long, protesting too much. I find the arguments that evolution is “non-purposive” and random as closed as the religious arguments denying evolution, information is lacking in both arguments.
Evolution moves inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, all the way toward ascending levels of Godhood. This does not mean a transcendence from material life to non-material spiritual life, or replacing man with more intelligent machines. I see this great process of evolution toward Godhood as activated from within every atom and within every cell of living bodies, which then react and adapt to the various outside environments that life lives in. This activation is the same activation that leads to the desire to successfully survive and reproduce.
The good news is we can aid in this evolution. We are already shaping where the next generation wants to go, parents are already using testing and screening, genetic counseling, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and genetic engineering, and we can move on from there, as the deceitful paralyzing of eugenics begins to wind down.
Religious, moral, and artistic health are defined in the evolution of life, in nature, to Godhood. Art follows religion, as art can perform the task of affirming the sacred.
