Hi Everyone
I'm not sure that I have the answer to this question, so I thought I'd throw it out to you all to chin-wag it into some kind of definitely agreed consensus.
Evolution is an all encompassing phenomina of the universe. Absolutely everything within it, is seen to evolve. Agreed?
Secondly, is it possible to remove something from the evolutionary effect, by placing it outside of evolution?
Thirdly, have we in fact, done that to ourselves?
And fourthly, by way of example, by keeping animals in zoos, etc, are we in fact preventing them from evolving?
I base all these thoughts on the fact that anything within evolution is connected to everything in evolution. Knock-on effects so to speak.
Ultimately, is humanity's intelligence and it's development therefore, the ultimate reason why eventually other life forms will evolve into something that our technology will just not be able to defeat, thereby creating the scenario that humanity will eventually render itself extinct by nature of it's inability to evolve?
So: Are we dooming ourselves to extinction by seperating ourselves from evolution, or will we manipulate evolution for our own gain, because we cannot evolve?
Have we already doomed ourselves to extinction?
ps - I hope you enjoy this one. I don't intend for it to be anti or pro anything. Just a neutral discussion of the possibilities of being outside of evolution.
Enjoy.
