Mahinda Weerasinghe \u00a0The Author of\u00a0\u2018The Origin of Species According To the Buddha\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Part II\u00a0Buddhist Sensory Becoming\u201d principle contra Darwin\u2019s Natural Selection\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Extraordinarily enough, it is taken for granted that, it is through Darwin\u2019s famous work \u2018The Origin of Species\u2019<\/em> <\/strong>that the world first stumbled upon the evolutionary process of species and its shadowy workings. Indeed now these Darwinians were promoting that we swap these fatalistic \u2018magical\u2019 creeds of the Judeo-Christian verity with this newly revealed \u2018Scientific\u2019 mechanistic one, of theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darwinists are absolutely convinced that \u2018natural selection\u2019 is a \u2018scientific theory\u2019, just as the true believers are of the opinion that their \u2018Good Lord\u2019 has created all creatures in their present form once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

If they are so convinced that the Darwinian Theory is a \u2018scientific fact\u2019, then, they should lobby to get it accepted as a universal principle that covers the affairs of men and nations. In other words, they should insist that UN should stop interfering in the tribal wars of annihilation and genocide. Surely the \u2018fittest\u2019 after such elimination processes will produce the victors who should go on to procreate and send their types further in time and space. In fact such \u2018genocidal massacres of extermination\u2019, should not be interfered with, by the well established and well remunerated peace industry of the UN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surely Darwinists are not nursing a ridiculous notion that the human species is a \u2018special creation\u2019 by some sadistic \u2018God\u2019 and should be made the exception to that \u2018tooth and claw\u2019 rule of the \u2018survival of the fittest\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg, present honest opinion, when, basing himself on the (Darwinian dictates) claims that, “more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless”. Darwinism teaches “that our lives are brief and inconsequential in the cosmic scheme of things” and that life has no ultimate purpose because there is no heaven, hell, or afterlife and “nothing we know about life requires the existence of a disembodied vital force or immaterial spirits, or a special creation of species”. Raymo, Chet. 1998.\u00a0Skeptics and True Believers.\u00a0New York, NY: Walker (Page 110)<\/span><\/p>\n

That eminent evolutionary, Harvard paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson, is in total agreement with this opinion, for it seems that, “Man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind. Indeed, since Darwinism has demolished the belief that the universe and human beings have an ultimate purpose, our educational system must inculcate young people in “cold and clammy truths like descent from reptilian or amoebic ancestors”.\u00a0 Simpson, George Gaylord. 1970.\u00a0The Meaning of Evolution<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0New Haven, CT: Yale University Press. (Page 345)<\/span><\/p>\n

Dawkins the \u2018bull dog\u2019 of Darwinism insist that evolution “has shown higher purpose to be an illusion” and that the Universe consists of “selfish genes;” consequently, “some people are going to get hurt, others are going to get lucky, and you won’t find any rhyme or reason for it”. \u00a0“A Scientist’s Case Against God,”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In fact when they invoke such hyperbole they have lost sight of the broader picture. As they have hitched their wagon to the Darwinian \u2018natural selection\u2019 only to arrive at this \u2018rational analysis of aimlessness and meaninglessness\u2019 of existence. If I were to own such an outlook of life i.e., being aimless, hopeless, purposeless, and not worth to keep breathing on, I would forthwith terminate my existence, as it is not worth the struggle! But these pundits who are offering such nihilistic claims have not given up on life themselves. On the contrary, they are enjoying life and clinging to their dear life at all cost. Under the circumstance promotion of emptiness is bizarre to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact the intelligent world today accepts that, there is no hell or heaven in some unknown coordinates in space because those conditions are found here on earth. They acknowledge there are no soul, no creator, and no heaven. In fact they have to accept the fact that all compounds are unstable and are in a state of flux. But Darwinian view is hard for such people sallow due to its very mechanistic nature not forgetting all of those unanswered questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed in the Part I, I have pointed out that Darwinian version of evolution could not offer \u2018a universal definition of a species\u2019 couldn\u2019t specify how \u2018speciation is triggered\u2019 of a higher taxa. In fact they were unable to offer a viable explanation to a simple question such as \u2018why did primitive man dropped his bodily hair when he stood up\u2019? So how in the world can they claim to be scientific before answering such basic and fundamental issues?<\/span><\/p>\n

Why, indeed did human animal develop such a perfect body-mind mechanism, and exposed themselves to a multitude of hazards which in time would threatens their very survival\u00a0\u00a0especially when they were able to procreate \u2018to their hearts content\u2019 and find no threat from any external agency? Only threat we find is threat of \u2018implosion\u2019 due to over population, and this from within and not without. As examples, I can point to the Muslim states such as Pakistan, Bangladesh indeed Egypt. In the good old days they killed all Buddhists and took over the countries and started reproducing, today UN is blocking such \u2018genocidal wars of extermination\u2019 for such exterminators will be exterminated in turn if they cross the borders \u2018on holy wars\u2019 in the name of Allah. Soon in such Muslim states, it will be \u2018survival of the fittest\u2019 all right, but within the given, enclosed and contained borders. This is happening as we speak and will increase dramatically as their numbers grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientist find that language learning is what separates humans from other species. Human infant, it seems is a language soaking machine. Paradoxically, many animals have a rich conceptual systems and ways of visualizing the world, with rich and complex social relationships. Yet they lack a system through which they can express and convey their inner most feelings, sentiments and thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Human hearing differs dramatically from all other apes. The relevant acoustic nuances in a spoken language are so subtle, that these are impossible for them to perceive, distinguish and register. Perhaps this handicap may help explain chimp\u2019s relative insensitiveness vis-\u00e0-vis verbal intercourse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even human eye has been designed expeditiously for the purpose of visual communication. The widely exposed white sclera (white of the eye) surrounding the darker iris makes it easy for onlookers to discern the direction of gaze, a characteristically human trait, which other primates have found unnecessary to develop. Such findings indicate: (1) the exposed white sclera is void of pigmentation; (2) humans possess the largest ratio of exposed sclera in the eye-outline; (3) the eye out-outline is extraordinarily elongated in the horizontal direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comparison of eye coloration and facial coloration around the eye suggest that, the dark coloration of exposed sclera of non-human primates is an adaptation to conceal the direction of gaze from targeted individuals and\/or predators, and that the white sclera enhances the gaze signal. The uniqueness of human eye morphology among primates illustrates the unbridgeable gap that exists between humans and other primates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brain size is another obvious dissimilarity the scientists have now stumbled upon. Instrumented with it, we govern the involuntary and voluntary functions, the sensory perceptions, memory, emotions, consciousness, and intelligence. Darwinists are still to clarify the purpose of this unusually large human brain and how it facilitates natural selection\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent study exposes the difficulties evolutionary biologists are faced with, when they attempt to account for the emergence of the human brain by natural processes. They studied 214 genes involved in human brain development and established, from an evolutionary perspective, that these genes must have undergone hyper-fast evolution to produce the large human brain with its advanced cognitive capacities. In the words of one investigator: ” To accomplish so much in so little evolutionary time\u2026requires a selective process that is perhaps categorically different from the typical processes of acquiring new biological traits. This type of rapid and extensive genetic turn over makes little sense from an evolutionary perspective, given the deleterious effects of most mutations and the extensive complexity and integration of the biological systems that make up the human brain. If anything, this type of rapid evolution should be catastrophic\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walker and Shipman inform that out of all mammals save one, the human brain grows rapidly during gestation, but then grows less rapidly after birth. What humans have accomplished by this is, the stratagem of keeping the brain growing at the embryonic rate for an added year subsequent to birth. As a result, its independence is sacrificed while exposing the infant to all sorts of hazards. No wonder we find human infant has to be nursed, pampered and protected for a minimum of two years post birth, an interval so extraordinarily stretched in survival terms that, if other primates were to imitate, they would simply be committing evolutionary hari-kari.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers are now of the opinion that infants are simply born too early in their development. The \u2018premature birth\u2019 aids the offspring to glide through their mothers’ birth canals effortlessly. If contrary, be the case, human procreation then will dry up fast. Every other primate doubles their brain weight from birth to adulthood. But due to the early birth, humans triple their brain’s growth rate. In fact, this adds 12 months of foetal\u201d growth outside the womb, a period filled with pitfalls and perils. Such a prolonged childhood, burdens the parents with the added task of monitoring, feeding and rendering the infant the much-needed security, though it also establishes a close physical and emotional relationship with its parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such findings do not help adherents of the Darwinian version of evolution. Their protagonists challenge and ask why should natural selection produce such impractical relatively hairless, white skinned Caucasian race of humans with an in-built inability to fend for itself?<\/span><\/p>\n

Internet is proliferating with all sorts of novel findings, anomalies and peculiarities that fly in the face of Darwinian version of evolution. I will touch a few of these obvious ones with a minimum of elaboration. Those who are keen for more information can access these on the net.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creationists enumerate, a few obvious “advantages” that humans have over the lower primates: larger brain size, speech\/language, communicative eyes, and bipedal locomotion.\u00a0Based on this they ask (And go on to challenge): how does each of these influence “an individual’s reproductive success”, especially if we are talking about many “micro mutations” over a prolonged interval? Indeed what great benefits\/advantages are there in a 0.01% larger, brain size, 0.01% greater speech ability, 0.01% more communicative eyes and 0.01% more bipedal locomotion, for the individual in the survival of the fittest\u201d scheme of things? Silence by these evolutionary luminaries is simply deafening!<\/span><\/p>\n

No wonder proponents of magical creation\u201d categorize these features simply as “fortuitous mutations ” or “macro mutations”! There are many other puzzles Darwinists side step, such as how and why did man loose his body hair. An explanation compatible with natural selection\u201d is yet to be put forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indirectly though, some investigators are converging on a logical explanation, though still without grasping its implications. They are now beginning to conclude that sexuality may be a reason. In fact, the subject was covered in juicy detail by Desmond Morris, who highlighted unique human features such as extended foreplay, extended copulation and the orgasm. One particular anomaly is that the human female is always \u2018in heat\u2019, though she can conceive only during a few days each month. All these observable facts are absolutely incompatible with the Darwinian version of producing its proto-types, so that the copies can be sent out in time and space, for what earthly reason that their duplicates\u201d be scattered in time and space, is also quite hazy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now investigators are homing in on the anomaly of the male penis, which is by far the largest erect penis of any living primate. The geneticist Steve Jones has noted it as a mystery which is \u2018unanswered by science\u2019, a point which is echoed by Jared Diamond: … we descend to a glaring failure: the inability of twentieth-century science to formulate an adequate Theory of Penis Length… astonishing as it seems, important functions of the human penis remain obscure.\u201d (Why is Sex Fun? The Evolution of Human Sexuality <\/em>by Diamond, Jared).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No wonder, four out of ten Americans find it hard to believe that they are related to the apes. Thanks to the half-baked Darwinian version of evolution, we find creationist going round the country propagating that the good Lord has created, man as man, and pig as pig.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet eventually Darwinists will need to confront a still more vital question. Why did the chimp execute such a profound genetic restructuring and emerged as a human? Was it purely through a haphazard accidental process? Though at this point of history it looks to me as if \u2018this fittest\u2019 primate will succumb within the next half a millennium to a lower form of existence, but the chimp probably may limp on further.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any accounting evolutionists\u2019 offers should obviously be compatible with their \u2018gradualness of evolution\u2019 hypothesis. We are inundated with literature, clarifying theoretically how mutation and speciation occur, utilizing abstract words and phrases, specially coined for the purpose. Nevertheless, we remain unenlightened. Earlier evolutionists were of the opinion that mutation would automatically produce new species. That idea has been conveniently dropped now. They claim now speciation\u201d to mean \u2018the acquisition of effective isolating mechanisms\u2019. This was neither here nor there, vague, hollow and slippery as declaring that a square is circular.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So should we assume that, some historical chimp, at some point in time, has accidentally metamorphosed into human by mutating and modifying his genetic machinery? If so, precisely what mechanism transubstantiated the chimp\u2019s genetic code that he acquired the one now we call human? Obviously, one is either equipped with a genome of a chimp or one that is of a man! In other words, one is either, a chimp or is human. When considering this question we also have to keep in mind, the most vital factor: though mutations are considered to be the driving force of evolution, a copying error in the cell usually ends in terminal cancer in higher taxa.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0With sensory becoming principle\u201d we don\u2019t end in such bottlenecks. Indeed if we use \u2018sensory becoming principle\u2019 as an instrument we pass through effortlessly with flying colors.<\/span><\/p>\n

However before confronting such issues (questions), I need to reiterate some vital ingredients to the theory of becoming\u201d basing them on the \u2018The Law of Impermanence\u2019, and presented here as the basic firing ingredient initiating the whole process in order to lay a foundation. These will help one to grasp the deeper dictates which under pinned the whole process.\u00a0\u00a0Basically being:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Actions are incited through sensory expediency.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Sensory extension is as a result of ‘stress and strain’<\/strong> of the genetic machinery, these triggered through a sensory gratification process.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Desire and self-centeredness is a core irrepressible egoistical force which is the life force and called by the Buddha craving potential (desire)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Pleasure and pain principle is the central stimulating\u00a0force.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0When we compound these elements, we clearly are able to identify how the sensory lust subjugated the conditioned body-mind of species and charted the direction of the becoming.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Indeed before I continue I will introduce some core Buddhist concepts dealing with the mechanisms of becoming (evolution).<\/span><\/p>\n
