Products of evolution
When examining the testimonies of different religions (related to the world), we encounter some unnatural and illogical approaches. All monotheistic religions attach the highest attributes to their God: almighty, on sight, etc. This approach was quite logical and natural for people who did not have the current knowledge of 56 Faith versus Science of Modern Science or information about any other possible “technologies.”
To the man in the 21st century, however, it must at least be strange for God to use the same way of “working” as a man. “Human” work can be characterized as an activity “per partes,” i.e., in parts. When a person wants to build a house, he digs a pit, lays foundations, bricks the walls, settles windows and doors, makes a roof, etc. It is also assumed that when he wanted to have intelligent beings in the universe, he first created a scouring plant. Galaxies and stars, Earth, plants, animals, and finally handle himself. It is automatically assumed that the same activity and implemented by a similar mechanism is manifested by God even today. What is certain is that almighty God can “work” like this, but it doesn’t seem likely. After all, let us only realize the difference between God and man on one side and man and, for example, a dog on the other. The difference between the way a person and a dog activity is immense. If a dog wants to change its “coordinates,” it uses and will still only use its legs, while a person has gradually invented the wheel, trolley, bicycle, car, plane, rocket, and what knows what we will live to see in the future. It, therefore, seems quite natural for us to assume that Even God—even though the man was created in the image of God—may show activity by a non-human mechanism. Can we at least know what the mechanism might be? By exploring our world’s characteristics, we could see “Divine Technology” as a matter of principle. Indeed, the vast bounty of information that individual sciences have gathered so far leads to the conclusion that our universe was created according to a strange and unusually perfect principle. To better understand this, we can help our erst. When the artist wanted to create a painting on a large Gothic window, he proceeded with “per partes” technology. He attached the pebble to the pebble, and after a proportional, often many years of work, the painting was finished. But equally beautiful, indeed in many ways significantly more perfect image can create nature in winter in a few hours on the window. What technology? It is enough to have a suitable glass pane, ensure adequate temperature, sufficient humidity, and the corresponding image will be created spontaneously, so to speak, jumps frontal, i.e., practically at once. By analogy, dunes or snowdrifts could be created using a sufficiently large group of soldiers and blades (again with per partes technology). However, in the presence of wind and under appropriate conditions and appropriate characteristics of sand or snow grains, these formations will first arise on their own, spontaneously, and in significantly greater perfection than people would be able to create. What’s going on here? It can generally be concluded that this is a qualitative change in the system due to subsystems’ interaction under certain deterministic laws. In particular, this means that when a system characterized by a certain dynamic finds itself in special conditions, it loses stability and inevitably becomes ‘unstable against the emergence of a new quality.’ Thus, systems can spontaneously self-improve. There’s no mysticism in this, and there’s no need to look for any mysterious intervention from the outside. No one’s looking for some “goblin” that smacks of a string on a violin during a one-way pull of a string. However, this process is quite unexpected because we cannot explain well enough how constant braking force can produce regular oscillations. In that regard, this process is not the slightest mystery – the string loses its stability under sufficiently exposed conditions. It allows various fluctuations to realize their ‘intentions,’ i.e., to estate strings with a certain frequency. All this can also be mathematically proven. The examples used (and thousands of others) demonstrate the spectacular and universal natural process that forms the essence of evolution: the development of systems. Its essence is the spontaneous transition from less perfect to more perfect, from less orderly to more orderly, from less complex to more complex, that is, what we have stated in the definition of development. Interestingly, there are not so many fundamental principles governing the dynamics of systems. Nevertheless, this makes it possible to create many qualitatively different ‘structures’ with each other. Einstein did very well: “The world is poor in principles, but overwhelmingly rich in structures.” Thus, another mechanism for creating new qualities as a mechanism of “per partes,” namely a mechanism utilizing spontaneous.
It consists of creating certain entry conditions initially (certain information is encoded), and the system is already developing itself (without external intervention) to new predicted or even unexpected structures.22) (In the interests of fairness, let us add that the evolutionary process also takes place subsequently one by one, i.e., essentially also “per partes,” but the different stages follow each other spontaneously, quickly and without external intervention, and the process of qualitative change cannot be stopped somewhere “in the middle.” It is done according to the well-known principle of “all or nothing
