if past present and future all exist together as one, how does that affect evolutionary theory?

Past, present, and future do not exist all together as one.

Have you seen the movie Interstellar? If not, you may consider that. Both positive and negative answers about evolution are suggested in the movie. Very naive, nothing new, but good examples.

Ever heard of Einstein, Einstein? (I couldn't resist.)

Of course. Unfortunately, I am posting from work and cannot watch the YouTubez. Summarize?

Not at all.

In the same way that it affects Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Banana, but only sideways on upday.

ED,

Quote function is borked. When I asked for a summary, I was asking for an explanation.

I was thinking, maybe eternity or time is 33.333...% present, 33.333...% past and 33.333...% future?


Take a line a to j:

a ---------- j (10 units long, from a to j).

From a to j is the future at t = a, (a >>>>>>>>>> j)

From a to j, via , c, d etc is the present, (a ^^^^^^^^^^^^ j)

and from j back to a is the past at time j, (a<<<<<<<<<<<< j).

Thus overall, there are ten, or equal units of each: past, present and future...

Past, present and future all exist as one.

That's not actually what the video says. Perhaps you should watch it before commenting on it.

I not only watched it but I also have studied Einstein's theory of
relativity. And it is even the title of the you tube video.

ED,

It goes into Einstein's theory of relativity and how gravity effects
time. Our concept of time isn't exactly correct for other parts of
the universe. Time is only relative. Therefore it is all existing at
once.

 

[GrowingSmaller]

so time is a contradiction in terms? past present future all at the same time sounds like the colour triangle, a category mistake....

I think it is important that, in our dimension, we are governed by time and space. Outside of our dimension, time doesn't exist. Does the theory of evolution reside outside of this constriction of time?

So I guess my answer would be that it has no effect on the theory of evolution as the theory of evolution is constrained by time.
