Yes, its me.
There is a complicated concept I want to bring your attention to: cross-pollination. It is the idea that one species can inspire another, such that its young, takes on the attributes of something foreign to the species it was born to. In one sense, you could look at it like one tree grafted on to another (tree), the one grafted onto being inspired by the original pollen, in a foreign context (the other tree). So the apple tree, buds with oranges, because the orange tree has been grafted onto it. In Evolutionary terms, the apple tree is helped with orange tree selection pressures (manifest as branches, but keeping roots).
In ape terms, having created men, could create men as children of elephants, if apes were grafted on to elephants. The cross-pollination would strengthen the elephant and the man, the man for the elephant's root, the elephant for the variation of herd. It's not hard to imagine that men as children of elephants would be greater men, better hearing, further range, stronger memory - the point is it would be a direct application of the need for individuals to change something. This is true at least for survival.
What I don't understand, is why you would not do this in spirit, with other species in mind, but in truth, for the species you already have? When you look at man, you don't think "Well, this man's evolution is almost up! Graft him on to something else!!" No you think, "here is a creature that needs inspiration - direct him in what is wise!" There is no thinking that the grafting could kill him, though certainly it could, just that he has already found something that is good even "Evolutionarily" speaking. Scripturally speaking it is only failing to do something with faith, if you refuse the work that goes with your design - grafting establishes a little work, if you don't resent the object changing (that means there is less chance you will have no praise for God, but also less motive to maintain it).
This leaves open one possibility: life! Life continues whether there is grafting or not, Evolution or not. What is interesting, is where one is inspired with the other - can you see that? If you are inspired, you can have your Evolution and your grafting and be informed of the value of both - through the powerful council of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit remains committed to the sharing of the Word, for the love of the point: He begins the works of everyone that has faith. He is able to begin the work of Evolution, and begin the work of cross-pollination - if we trust Him, we will be able to make something of that and even more! This doesn't even need a leader, someone to remain in place sharing it, from beginning to end - a hive mind Evolutionarily to begin with, will be enough.
Is a hive mind evolved? I guess that is for you to answer - my hope is that you will make more sense (of what you believed yourself to begin with, if nothing else).
Your Evolution, prevail.
