Blind Evolution Vs. The Ire of a Sociopathic God

Things crawl out of the numinous, and to the numinous they return. We feel this implicitly in our bones. Any theory or idea we use to deny the existence of the “duality annihilator” is nothing but a theory or idea. In the ultimate reality, they’re non-existent. The numinous neither approves nor castigates anything. Why would the ultimate plenum of being take sides? The infinite field has no sides, no dimensions, no limits, no restraints, no qualms, no theories, or ideas. We impose limits on the Grand Mystery. Not the other way around.

If the numinous came to the forefront and we venerated it like a newborn child, the creationism vs. evolution debate would become totally extraneous. There would no need for any intellectual battles, pedagogical wars, or anything of that ilk. We would simply acknowledge the Truth to be the Suchness of Reality. All arguments would become moot.

Creationism fails because it tends to honor a type of supernatural tyrant that is supposed to be the father of the world. If you ask me, this supernatural tyrant comes across as a total spazz, a demiurge that acts compassionately or maliciously. It all depends upon the time of day or season, I guess. All I know is that a sociopathic god who is susceptible to tumultuous mood swings is probably not the type of god I would invite over for spring rolls. In actuality, this god is a prime candidate for an asylum.

Standard evolutionary theory fails because it seems to disregard the need for meaning. It reduces everything to blind chance, meaninglessness, the survival of the fittest, genes, cause and effect, and other things that lack a purpose. Standard evolutionary theory plays out like a horrific tale where life is good at the beginning (the big bang) but terrible at the end (entropy). Who in their right mind wants that? Not me. I don’t want a nihilistic ending to a romantic yarn spun by visible and invisible forces. I want triumph.

The tug-of-war between the creationists and the proponents of evolutionary theory will probably go on indefinitely, and the porous minds of humanity’s children will be caught up in the storm indefinitely too. All the while, wisdom will take a back seat in the classroom and remain silent, because those who know keep their mouths shut and those of us who do not know blather on and on in absurd ways.
