It is said, by Darwinian evolutionists, that
the brain is a tool of our sex organs and our whole purpose in this round-wet-sphere
is to reproduce ourselves. Once we have accomplished that, we can go happily, to our graves (or
unhappily for all it matters). We are done after that. I suppose this means something to some and gives life more meaning than many of us have found in the
latter-half of the twentieth-century industrial economy. I can also pause when I
think geneticists have found that well over two-thirds of the gene-pool in Asia can count Genghis Khan as an ancestor. From what I
understand of history, Genghis Khan was not of the highest moral standard by
any estimation. If ever there would be an example of materialistic success…
there it is for ya!
Spiritual
success is another matter altogether. Most spiritual traditions affirm the
importance of family values; however, the comparison with the values of
materialism often ends there. Spiritual evolution involves a similar paradigm
but it is based on some principles… some values that go beyond personal selfish ends.
As we have learned by the example of Stalinism, state sponsored capitalism (the
state is a tool of the economy), and state sponsored socialism (fascism); i.e., any
society based entirely on material values eventually grinds itself down to the
nub through short lived prosperity via conquest into a poverty of spirit
(social-Darwinism) that precedes material destitution.
