Q&A
IDEA THAT
MY TRUE SELF
IS SOME INDIVISIBLE,
IMMUTABLE AND POTENTIALLY
ETERNAL ESSENCE?! According to the theory of evolution,
all biological entities - from elephants & oak trees to cells & DNA molecules -
are composed of smaller and simpler parts that ceaselessly combine and separate!?
Elephants and cells have evolved gradually, as a result of new combinations and splits...
Something that cannot be divided or changed cannot have come into existence through natural selection.
The human eye, for example, is an extremely complex system made of numerous smaller parts such as the lens,
the cornea and the retina. The eye did not pop up out of nowhere complete with all these components. Rather, it
evolved step by tiny step through millions of years! Our eye is very similar to the eye of Homo Erectus, who
lived about one million years ago! It is somewhat less similar to the eye of Australopithecus, who lived more
than 5 million years ago? It is very different from the eye of Dryolestes, who lived 150 million years ago. Yet
even unicellular organisms have tiny organelles that enable the microorganism to distinguish light from darkness,
& move towards one or the other. The path leading from such archaic sensors to our human eye is long & winding,
but if you have hundreds of millions of years to spare, you can certainly cover the entire path, step by step! You
can do that because the eye is composed of many different parts! If every few generations a small mutation very
slightly changes one of these parts - say, the cornea becomes a bit more curved - after millions of generations
these changes can result in a human eye. If the eye were a holistic entity, devoid of any parts, it could
never have evolved
by natural
selection.
