A Unified Field Theory
for the Evolution of Species;
Resolving the Darwinism/Intelligent Design Debate
My wife and I were in for quite a surprise when
we first visited a school to determine where to educate
our children. Upon our inquiry of the curriculum, the
school representative proudly boasted, "We don't
teach any of that Darwin stuff here. We adhere strictly
to the Bible." I was shocked. I knew that society
was split on the Darwinism/intelligent design issue,
but her intensity startled me.
Throughout history, numerous religions
have, in their own terms, expressed the notion we are
created in God's image. That notion has been referred
to as "creationism" and now "intelligent
design." Over 100 years ago, Darwin challenged
that age-old concept, declaring that species evolved
from single cell organisms to sponges, lizards, apes,
and ultimately human beings. Naturally, this created
quite a rift between scientists and theologians.
For the past century, Darwin's theory
has been the cornerstone of biological science. With
the advent of computers, programs were used to create
models of Darwin's theory. A number of them suggested
the evolutionary process proposed by Darwin occurred
far too quickly to even be a possibility.1 In spite of those models, biologists insisted the theory
was still valid. Spiritualists on the other hand, joyfully
embraced this scientific undermining of Darwin's theory,
taking it as evidence his theory should be entirely
discarded. As continues now societally, both sides looked
for loopholes to keep their current belief system intact.
Interestingly enough, while biologists
were generating those computerized models, modern physicists
were refining their theories of the Unified Field. They
state there is one thing acting as the underlying basis
of all existence. What you are, what I am, and what
everything is in its essence is all the same one thing
- the Unified Field. Furthermore, this Unified Field
is the source of all the power, intelligence, organization,
and harmony that gave birth to, and upholds the entire
universe. Now a simple question: What have we throughout
history called that one thing? I think it's obvious
it has been referred to as "God." Physicists
refer to it as the Unified Field.
Now think about it for a moment. The
Unified Field is continually breathing coherence, intelligence,
and greater and greater levels of sophistication into
all biological systems, including all living organisms.
Using a sandbox to illustrate, do you know what happens
when a vibration is induced into a sandbox? The box
and every grain of sand within it begin to vibrate.
That vibration permeates every grain of sand. If it
is allowed to continue for some time, a harmonious structure
or pattern begins to emerge on the surface of the sand.
If the process is allowed to continue, the order, coherence,
and organization of that pattern becomes more and more
precise - an increasingly detailed expression of the
order contained within the vibration itself. Thus, a
pattern on the surface of the sand is created in the
image of the vibration.
Now imagine the entire universe is
a sandbox and the Unified Field (God) is continually
sending a vibration through it. As a result, the evolution
of species is propelled forward in a direction that,
over time, more and more fully embodies the intelligence,
order, harmony, and coherence inherent in the Unified
Field itself. It pushes the evolutionary process forward,
accelerating that process to a rate vastly exceeding
the "random chance" notion put forth by Darwin.
So you can see this combining of the Unified Field theory
with Darwin's theory creates an understanding of the
evolution of species that actually works. Furthermore,
it provides us with an understanding of intelligent
design that is consistent with modern science and resolves
the problems posed by the computer-generated model cited
above. Species evolve, but they evolve in a specific
direction that leads them toward the embodiment of the
coherence, structure, and intelligence inherent to the
Unified Field. In another words, species evolve toward
the image of the Unified Field or God.
There was an interesting phenomenon
observed by biologists2: When scientists
went into underwater caves where it is dark, they found
many of the fish didn't have eyes. The question from
a biological perspective is: Why do the fish not have
eyes? The general belief among biologists is it requires
more energy to sustain an organism with unnecessary
organs like eyes. Therefore, when a mutation occurred
and fish had no eyes, it was a more efficient system.
So the fish without eyes had a lower energy requirement
and were more fit to survive. Other people made what
is called a teleological argument regarding the blind
fish, implying some sort of Divine overseer was intentionally
calling the shots.
But here is what I want to address:
We must distinguish between 1) environmental adaptation;
and 2) evolution. Evolution is toward the embodiment
of the coherence, structure, and intelligence inherent
to the Unified Field. The blind fish adapted to a new
environment, but did not more fully embody the image
of the Unified Field, i.e. God. Therefore, they are
not more evolved.
The true meaning of intelligent design
and this deeper understanding of Darwin's theory reveal
that those two concepts are, in fact, two sides of the
same coin. They are the same theory viewed from different
angles. There is no contradiction. In fact, one provides
us with a deeper understanding of the other. As Einstein
said, "Science without religion is lame, religion
without science is blind." Modern physics has enabled
us to bring two distinct and seemingly contradictory
pieces of life's puzzle (intelligent design and Darwinism)
together into a unified whole. This is a remarkable
discovery. It can revolutionize our understanding of
the relationship between life and spirituality.
Given that species evolve in a specific
direction that leads them toward the embodiment of the
coherence, structure, and intelligence inherent to the
Unified Field, we now have only to ask ourselves where
that process culminates. And the answer is simple. It
culminates with a species that fully embodies all of
the intelligence inherent in the Unified Field, the
image of the Unified Field, the image of God.
This notion of unification can be applied
in an infinite number of different ways, revolutionizing
our understanding of all fields of life. As we comprehend
our world in this way, ultimately a new state of humanity
will be achieved, bringing about changes exceeding those
we've seen over the past several hundred years. It is
essential to understand here that this change is a new
mode of human function. As we awaken to an intelligence
within us that dwells beyond the grasp of any belief
system, it will free us from the constraints of belief
systems. It is the next major step in human evolution.
We are now on the verge of a great
phase transition. Humanity has many pieces of the puzzle
of our existence, yet how those pieces fit together
has remained elusive. Though the interconnectedness
of all things is a popular theory, the actual mechanics
of interconnectedness is not understood. When the automobile
was invented a century ago, no one ever imagined the
gases emitted by millions of gasoline engines would
cause the polar icecaps to melt. The interconnectedness
between those two phenomenons totally evaded our understanding.
A modern theory called the butterfly effect proposes
that a butterfly flapping its wings in China affects
the weather in Chicago. This is a good step forward.
However, the mechanism of all-inclusive interconnection
is still a global enigma.
To simply say the universe is holographic
isn't enough. Not only the details of the theory, but
also the technology and practical application of the
interconnectedness must be revealed. It far exceeds
humankind's wildest dreams. That time is coming. Humanity
will eventually understand how the state of our mentality
affects the weather. The potential is enormous. We have
thus far only seen a glimmer of what it is our species
is becoming.
