Predicting Human Evolution

Who should predict the next phase of human evolution. Is it something humanity does or is it something done to them? The next phase of human evolution is nothing humans should predict or decide, but it’s something for them to think about and to make preparations for. Naturally they will want the future to be more ethically stable than it is now in the 21st century.

The future will evolve and all the goodness, wholesomeness, generosity, education, knowledge of right and wrong, that the future can inherit  from the now generations, the better the world will be. Those know of today’s problems, having been planted here in the present with its surmounting problems, relying on the words learned from somewhere, will have much to offer to the future no matter how it evolves. sufficient unto today are the cares and concerns thereof, or something on that order, thought little about how the future would eventual evolve.

Thinking about the future is good. It should make everyone decide to do better but trying to control the impossible is like trying to hold cobwebs in one’s hands. Listening to lots of crap found on the internet sounds like the world is thinking about their future and is out there in hoards trying to stop the inevitable. Getting down to the nitty-gritty is not digging more holes in the ground or getting ready to fly to Mars or to the moon, it’s looking up and elevating one’s mind to life as it should be, not as it is wanted to be. You simply cannot trash the good earth and then send a big glob of technology to outer space and program it to makeroom for the earth’s pack rats.

Those with children and grandchildren know they’re the future. They don’t envision them as settling in far out place but still occupying the good earth. What more can  Christian believers do? What they do when in the midst of chaos is to pray.  They begin by repeating over and over  “Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end.” Amen. That’s futuristic.

To be more down to earth and less heavenly, the future of evolution doesn’t come in neat little phases and is not at all predictable. Most likely it comes simply limping along the best it can, a little bit here, a little bit there and it takes most people by surprise. This applies to all life, humans, animals, and plants. All adapts as best as they can.

It would be kind of neat if the world could erase its mistakes as easily as students used to erase classroom blackboards, but that will never happen for obvious reasons, one of the most obvious being blackboards are now found in old attics, if they are found at all. Newer white ones have taken over, and aside from no chalk dust, there’s not much improvement. Time does change and with forethought it can change for the better.

Evolution happens, a little here, a little more there  and does it so quietly most folks give it no thought. It’s something that will happen in the future but it is happening as this is being written. Some of it is good, some not so good and some is something no one knows much about. All the goings  on happening, a little there, a pulling back here, a covering up there for past mistakes and an uprising over there are all ways in which society and the world at large changes.  While down in the back alley things  that should go on when no one is looking on shouldn’t go on at all.

Evolution is here to stay. Everything changes and if that was not so, there would be no life. But evolution does not come in large observable phases that is all ready made for historians and science fiction writers to gawk over over; it’s happening right now but ever so slowly. Humanity can’t prevent it now matter how much they want to.  

 Prevention is the better part of any cure and that goes for whatever ails humanity. Sounds simple, but it is a very complicated procedure; people must first become responsible citizens. Simply letting nature take its course has never worked and never will.

It is now time to stop  children from acting as adults and our adults from acting as children. The world has had enough nonsense in these past one hundred years to last for many more millenniums.
