Isaiah 44:6 says "I am the first and the last," and Revelation 1:8 God declares "'I am the Alpha and the Omega" Lets consider this logically, The first would be Creation and the Last would indicate that there is an end time, If you accept that life evolves, then in a billion years we will be far different, maybe not at all like we are today, or replaced by some other form of evolution. Clearly we did not exist at creation, may not exist in a billion years, and much less at the end of time. Therefore the God we think of is a God different from the Alpha or Omega. My point is that God is not always what someone says it is. Creation starts today, God is for now, so do not wait for God, repair this world, Tikkun Olam, today. May I ask you to please subscribe.

Who can deny we are animals? We choose our partners, have children, and pray they will grow up to be better than us. We compete for a better mate, and in one way or the other all progress is shaped by our vision of reproductive success. Our struggle to dominate motivates evolution and shapes the fabric of our civilization. Language first, then reading and writing emerge, now if you can't communicate you are less competitive. Each passing day more knowledge is required to compete. Complexity increases, with each generation, repeated generation after generation, with each step being more complex than the previous. Our epoch, place, language and civilization is imposed on us, our desire is imposed on us. Progress is pushed by sexual motivation, one generation causing the formation of the next, both causal and deterministic. Do we have free will, or is free will an illusion? 359
SHORTDo you believe in evolution? Do you deny natural selection? Everyone from Kings and Presidents to workers and beggars try to be the image of the man or lady they think they should be. Look around and all you see is the product of sexual competition. No amount of education, or modernization will erase our intrinsic sexual motivations. Sexuality is ingrained in our DNA, and motivates all we do including evolution. Sexuality and competition determine both your character, and your civilization. Sexuality is the nature of competition and competition is brutal. Aggression will always enslave the quiet, polite, and meek. Only when we evolve away from a sex driven society will the absurdity end. So, if you are Christian and think the meek should inherit the earth, consider both evolution and why God made you as he did. 364
SHORT Adam and Eve were primates, modern civilization is how primates behave when they can talk to each other over time. No amount of education, or modernization will erase our intrinsic will. We are animals who envy, desire, enslave and kill each other for sexual dominance. Unless we reject the motivation, which produces this behavior, both individual and social behavior will continue to be determined by sexual competition. Sexual competition is ingrained in our ape DNA and motivates all evolution. Sexuality and competition determined both our character, and our civilization. Brutal aggression will always enslave the quiet, polite, or meek. Only when we evolve away from a sex driven society will the absurdity end, and the meek will inherit the earth. Then, competition will evolve into compassion, we will have equal justice, and feel infinite pity for others. 364
SHORT Evolution from Embryo to Baby, Young to Old, from Stone Age to Today The meaning of life can be mostly seen in our evolution, and the quality of our lives is proportionate to the quality of our evolution.
While some may seek different sources of meaning, the concept of evolution provides a broad framework for understanding our place in reality. A journey of evolution that requires the effort of lifelong learning and growth, however, this perspective on the meaning of life may not satisfy everyone, for the unsatisfied require faith in an afterlife. Yet, I find the afterlife an excuse for not making the effort to examine life fully. Nonetheless, even without having a meaning for life, each individual lives and identifies with his community. If religious, he is given and accepts some sort of faith-based explanation for creation, powers of good and evil, along with laws or rules of conduct to live by. The individual, completely unaware, will then participate in deterministic behavior based on a belief which is derived from the social norm of the community, and period they belong to. "The morality of the individual, then, consists in his fulfilling the duties of his social position". General Introduction to the Philosophy of History , G.W.F. Hegel (N-2-1) 352
