EVOLUTION
That the sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible a proposition and implies no more contradiction than the affirmative that it will rise.
What came first the chicken or the egg?
One day many many years ago a creature emerged from the early primordial soup took a long lingering look around him and immediately slithered back from whence it came. Roughly 1 million years later out of that same early primordial broth a similar thing happened, this time however the creature stood on its own two legs took a long lingering look at its surrounding and stated ” I think therefore I am”
Life’s origin the primordial soup
So early man emerged in the form of a philosopher, but what we didn’t know, what wasn’t taught in school, what Charles Darwin had hidden from us for hundreds of years is that shortly after another bipedal life form emerged took one long look at its surroundings and said “Uggh” He took his mate and went off to live in a cave discovered fire and burnt his fingers.
But that of course is not how it happened (according to Charles Darwin) Really though how do we know what did happen all those years ago. After all if the net result of evolution is train spotters then evolution as failed.
It is now at this point that the whole question of evolution becomes a very vague and slightly inconceivable notion of indistinct and slightly misunderstood ambivalence. Some questions that needed to be asked and answered were lost in the mists of time. Questions such as how did train spotters come about.
Early cave drawings discovered in Coventry appear to depict prehistoric man waiting on what appeared to be a platform. Or were they on the hunt waiting for a herd of Mammoth to pass by.
Did prehistoric man evolve into train spotters ? Perhaps we will never know for sure.
Which then begs the question
What came first the Philosopher or the Train spotter?
We may well never know the full story of how we came to be, but there is another story that claims someone actually made it all in seven days. But before you pour scorn over that theory lets first investigate, then perhaps you may just find peace of mind and finally put to bed those nagging doubts of just who the hell am I and where did I come from. In the beginning there was nothing absolute cold dark nothingness. Then something stirred.
“Let there be light” There was.
“Let there be dark” There was.
And the rest they say is history or was it just the insane ramblings of some disgruntled prophet? Perhaps we will never truly know.
In an ever expanding universe anything can and probably will happen whether in the past present or future it will have happened. Even other life forms some where in the vast infinite reaches of space may or will exist.
Is it possible that on some far distant galaxies on some far distant planet there are train spotters or (perish the thought) stamp collectors. Well the truth is we don’t know and perhaps we never will. But one day a spaceship may just land on planet earth and out walks an alien. And his first words “Take me to platform three, apparently the Flying Scotsman is due at 10.15am”. Just think about it an alien who has just flown many millions of light years to see a train and it turns up late. Life eh just cant live without it.
