Evolution


I. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. While reason demands monotheistic unity, experience requires diversity of Absolutes — even differentials, variables, modifiers, and qualifiers. (UB 104:3.4).
2. The analysis of dead protoplasm does not disclose the true nature of living protoplasm. (UB 65:6.1).
3. Pulsating stars give origin to solar systems. (UB 41:10.1).
4. Both mental and spiritual transformations may occur suddenly. (UB 65:8.6).
5. In the evolutionary universes energy-matter is dominant, except in personality, where spirit, through the mediation of mind, is struggling for the mastery. (UB 116:6.1).
6. Land is the stage of society; men are the actors. (UB 68:5.1).

II. MIND SYSTEMS
1. The potential to learn from experience marks the functioning of the adjutant spirits. (UB 65:7.6).
2. The universe is mind planned, mind made, and mind administered. (UB 42:11.2).
3. Mind levels: 4. Physics and chemistry alone cannot explain how a human being evolves out of primeval protoplasm. (UB 65:6.8).

III. UNIVERSE MECHANISMS
1. The evolution of universe mechanisms indicates the presence and dominance of creative mind. (UB 42:12.1).
2. The higher the mind associated with a universe phenomenon, the more difficult is its detection. (UB 42:11.8).
3. The controlling mind of the universe is infinite and therefore beyond the full discernment of the finite mind. (UB 42:11.8).

IV. LIFE CARRIERS
1. Life Carriers are the living catalyzers who initiate material life; they are the instigators of the energy circuits. (UB 49:1.2).
2. The Universe Mother Spirit actually vitalizes the lifeless patterns. (UB 36:6.7).
3. In the human blood stream there exists the possibility of upward of 15,000,000 chemical reactions. (UB 65:6.6).

V. THE URANTIA ADVENTURE
1. The midwayers have assembled over 50,000 facts of physics and chemistry which are incompatible with the theory of chance in human evolution. (UB 58:2.3).
2. Evolution can be delayed but it cannot be stopped. (UB 81:0.1).
3. The frog finally culminated in man himself. (UB 65:2.6).
4. The human race has no surviving ancestry between the frog and the Eskimo. (UB 65:2.7).
5. Remember that Urantia was a life-experiment world. (UB 65:4.1).
6. More than a hundred thousand facts prove the presence of mind in the planning of the cosmos. (UB 58:2.3).
7. Many bacteria and fungi represent retrograde movement in evolution and explain disease-causing proclivities. (UB 65:2.3).
8. There were two unique features in the Urantia experiment:
  1. The Andonic race appearing before the colored races.
  2. The simultaneous appearance of the six Sangik colored races. (UB 65:4.7).
9. Failure to obtain more of the Adamic life plasm predisposed the human race to many diseases. (UB 65:5.2).
10. From A.D. 1934 the birth of the first two human beings occurred 993,419 years ago. (UB 62:5.1).
11. The color of the amalgamated human race is an olive shade of violet-the racial “white.” (UB 52:3.7).
12. Man’s ascent from seaweed to lordship of the earth is a romance of biologic survival. (UB 65:2.1).
13. Evolutionary creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities:
  1. Courage.
  2. Altruism.
  3. Hope.
  4. Faith.
  5. Love of truth.
  6. Idealism.
  7. Loyalty.
  8. Unselfishness.
  9. Pleasure. (UB 3:5.5).

VI. SOCIAL AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION
1. The two great influences contributing to early associations were hunger and sex love. (UB 68:2.4).
2. Primitive man only thought when he was hungry. (UB 68:2.5).
3. Man transcends animals in his ability to appreciate humor, art, and religion. (UB 69:0.1).
4. Society rose through the stages of collection, hunting, pastoral, and agriculture. (UB 68:5.2).
5. It is not altruism to bestow sympathy upon degenerate human beings. (UB 52:2.12).
6. Modern man suffers from the overgrowth of supposed needs, desires, and longings. (UB 68:2.5).
7. Evolution may be slow, but it is effective. (UB 81:1.3).

VII. CIVILIZATION
1. The Jews taught: He who does not work shall not eat. (UB 69:2.5).
2. There were no distinct periods, such as Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages. (UB 81:3.4).
3. Modern writing originated in the early trade records. (UB 69:4.6).
4. Fire building forever separated man from the animal world. (UB 69:6.2).
5. The dog was the first animal to be domesticated. (UB 69:7.4).
6. Civilization is a racial acquirement; it is not biologically inherent. (UB 68:0.2).
7. Society is concerned with self-perpetuation, self-maintenance, and self-gratification. (UB 68:2.3).
8. Hunger and love drove men together; vanity and ghost fear held them together. (UB 68:3.4).

VIII. OVERCONTROL OF EVOLUTION
1. Evolution is always purposeful and never accidental. (UB 65:0.7).
2. All mortal-inhabited worlds are evolutionary in origin and nature. (UB 49:0.1).
3. Life is both mechanistic and vitalistic — material and spiritual. (UB 36:6.1).
4. Since mind co-ordinates the universe, fixity of mechanisms is nonexistent. (UB 42:11.7).
5. Never will scientists be able to produce living organisms; life is not inherent in matter. (UB 36:6.1).
