Strutting and Fretting an Hour Upon the Stage
| 
The most important issue in the current debate about evolution and faith is not whether design points to deity but whether the drama of life is the carrier of a meaning. According to rigid design standards, evolution appears to have staggered drunkenly down multiple pathways, leading nowhere. But viewed dramatically, the apparent absence of perfect order at any present moment is an opening to the future, a signal that the story of life is not yet over. To make sense of the drama of life, therefore, we shall have to wait -- a disposition essential to any mature religious faith. For if evolution has an eternally sanctioned "point," we should expect that it would presently be hidden in the narrative depths of life rather than manifested in the always imperfect instances of design that float along on life's surface. Dramatic stories, unlike complex living systems or elaborately structured molecular states, have the potential to carry a truly deep significance. But it is the nature of stories that they have comic twists and tragic turns, and that they take time to unfold. ... According to a biblically inspired theology of nature, beneath life's diversity, descent, and flawed design, stirs an evolutionary drama that has been aroused, though not coercively driven, by a God of infinite love. The cosmos is called continually into being by a Creator who wills, but does not force, truly interesting outcomes to emerge in surprising new ways. God, as scripture suggests, is the one who "makes all things new." The drama of life and its evolution is a response to this invitation.
What I got from that is that it ain't over, and that the divinely sanctioned goal of evolution is still about four speciation events downstream. IOW, H. saps is merely a stepping stone in the river, an evanescent transitional form, and once we're extinct we're forked. It's those big-headed prosthesis-ridden virtual-reality-inhabiting descendants of ours who...
What are the similarities between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy?
Other than having both been President, had children who lived in the White House with them and both assassinated, not much. JFK was the pampered son of a wealthy Irish family (money came mostly from bootlegging during Prohibition) who had the best in private schools, was Catholic and served in the military during war. Democrat.
Lincoln was born in a log cabin, almost entirely self-educated, worked hard for pretty much every thing he ever had, never served in the military (there were no major wars during his lifetime other than the Civil War) and was Protestant. Republican.
