Evolution: Science or Racism

      Evolution is used to explain the origin of man.  However, it does not explain the origin of our universe.  Matter is needed for this theory.  The theory does not tell us how matter originated.  It assumes that matter has always existed.  This is unsatisfactory when looking for origin.  Matter needs space to exist in.  Evolution assumes that there has always been space available for matter to exist in.  What is the origin of space?  Matter also needs time to exist in the given space.  Evolution assumes that time has always existed.  Without time and matter, evolution is impossible.  Evolution can be thought of as an organizational philosophy for the universe.  It tries to explain how the universe was organized with existing matter, time and space.
      Time is an important part of the theory of evolution.  Time is assumed to be a constant and a means of measuring progress.  Million and billions of years are said to have been necessary for evolutionary processes.  When you hold a ruler in your hand, an inch is always a consistent distance.  Time is probably more of a variable than a consistent measure of evolution.  In a black hole, matter tends toward infinite density.  It is believed that the flow of time would cease at infinite density.  It is said that the flow of time stops at the speed of light.  Time is affected by gravity and speed.  Evolution pretends that time is always constant and doesn't vary in different environments.  I believe this definition of time is simply a part of our imagination.
      Information is another part of the evolutionary equation.  With the discovery of DNA, we now know that every cell has a blueprint or a plan.  So, i (information) has been added to update the theory.  This seems contrary to evolution.  Matter and energy are supposed to find a way to evolve on their own without a written plan or DNA guiding them.  The (i) information component needs to be taken out if evolution is really taking place. 
      Evolution can only be true if the 2nd law of Thermodynamics if false.  In reality, matter and energy naturally descend into disorder.  In evolution, matter and energy must take the initiative to evolve into more sophisticated arrangements.  This is probably more wishful thinking than scientific reality.
      As a part of scientific thought, the Theory of evolution is on very shaky ground if not impossible.  As a part of sociology, on the other hand, evolution is a big deal.  It demands discrimination.  One race has to be superior to other races.  One person or group has to be more evolved than the others.  Someone has to be "the most fit to survive".  The less evolved are supposed to die off in evolution.  The expression, "survival of the fittest," is loosely used in sporting events.  When we use that expression we mean that the best team will win and the others will lose.  In real evolution, however, the less fit group actually dies off.
      Slavery used to be supported with the argument that the black man was less evolved than the white man.  However, most of our best athletes in professional sports seem to be black.  Could black people be physically superior and more evolved than white people?  Men are usually physically stronger than women.  Does that mean that men are more evolved than women?  Women, on average, have a longer lifespan than men.  Are women more evolved since they survive longer than men?  In evolution, someone has to be more evolved and superior than everyone else.  In evolution, the less "fit to survive" need to die off.  This makes way for the superior to continue evolving.  Prejudice is necessary for objective evolutionary thought.
      In Hinduism, people try to do many good deeds and suffer extensively to get rid of their bad karma.  If this is done properly, it is believed that a person can eventually be reincarnated as a god.  It could be said that the god of evolution is the most evolved, the most fit and strongest creature.  
      It think it can easily be argued that the theory of evolution is less about science and more about racism!

Undermining Evolution

     We spend a lot of time and energy on our environment.  We recycle to help minimize waste.  We worry about plastic bottles littering our oceans, plastic bag kites, and pollution from coal, gas and oil.  Should we really spend time and energy trying to save our world?  Perhaps there are worlds that are superior to our world.  Perhaps this is not the "most fit" planet to survive.  If this is the case, we may be working against evolution by helping an inferior planet survive.  On the other hand, if our world is a superior planet, why do we need to help it.  In evolutionary thought, the superior survives on its own and doesn't actually need help.
      When I air up the tires on my car, the air machines says "Feed the Children".  We have many causes from breast cancer to solving the mystery of autism, to saving the whales from extinction.  However, in evolution, species are supposed to become extinct.  The weaker ones are supposed to die off and get out of the way of progress.  Only the strongest are supposed to survive and continue evolving.  Extinction is not a worry because new and better species are supposed to evolve.  Are our many causes a hindrance to evolution?  Are we getting in the way of progress?
      What about social issues?  Can racism be tolerated?  Can one race of people be deemed superior or more evolved and another race inferior or unnecessary for evolution's continual advancement?  Discrimination seems to be necessary for the process of evolution.  Medicaid and medicare are counterproductive to the process.  The evolution of the strongest parts of our society have to be the main focus.  Nature will naturally allow the strongest to continue and advance without our help.  While helping the poor and the weak is an important aspect of morality, it has nothing to do with the evolutionary process.
      We are flooded with a plethora of social and environmental causes.  If you really feel strongly about your favorite cause, perhaps you do not really believe in the reality of evolution.  Then again, perhaps evolution is not reality.  Perhaps it is just an overblown, worn-out theory.
