For Marcus - Imagine a game of chess played backwards...
Evolution is an undisputed fact, but the atheists must stop looking at only the mechanism and start looking at the mechanic.
Adaptation and optimisation through a feedback system is nothing new, either in Nature, or in modern systems management, but whereas a computer program can be rewritten in a relatively short time, to rewrite a program for a natural system according to evolution, it takes a lot, lot longer. Nature itself knows of only one way to do this and it is through the death and reproduction of multiple organisms - with the possibility of mutation and a favourable adaptation in the process.
Imagine therefore, that this (material evolutionary) dynamic - having existed for millennia, masks the existence of another dynamic. A dynamic that has acted upon the other for a similarly long period of time, (using the old familiar feedback system we are so used to), only this time, it is coming from the other direction...
To describe this 'other' system as rational in our accepted sense would be wrong - perhaps pre rational then. Its function is undoubtedly teleological, so to describe it as intelligent, would certainly be right, but this is no more or less than we would describe Nature - it is highly intelligent, but not rational in the accepted sense of material consciousness.
This bridgehead into the material world involves an adaptation to (human) morphology outside of the scope of homo sapient. It involves a substantial optimisation of the organism, to facilitate the process by which it can die (instinctively), yet remain alive as permanent conduit for Mind in a feedback system that involves one individual rather than the many. This adaptation will involve a very much quicker assimilation of material reality, in what one might describe: as a new and conscious creation.
