Evolution demands death. I'm sorry to tell you this. Get over it and you get out of your boxed in thinking. Death is the Mother to evolution.
Indeed, many scientists now hypothesize that dinosaurs went into extinction yet evolved into birds. To grow wings like the angels, we need to die to the monster we have become in our western civilization. We need to stop violently modifying and molesting the environment (all that is non-human that we come in touch with) to fit our desires and comforts. We need to allow ourselves to adapt to that which Is or I AM.
Death is a process of life. Our birth, sustaining and dissolution are simply the ways of evolution.
Unfortunately, Christians often see death as a portal to another dimension, such as Heaven. Heaven is a function of Greek idealism that ultimately locks us into a perfectionistic box. This is why we put ourselves into coffins. We just can't let go of ourselves, which we falsely identify as our egos. This is a mistake in the same way that identifying an ocean current or wave as the entire ocean.
In behaving this way, we allow ourselves to be under the control of corporations and politicians who don't give a damn about us, or the planet. "Its all about me!" That is the essence of the religion of today. "Oh, how I want to be mummified. Embalm me and keep me as I have always been and forever shall be."
How can we evolve if we don't get past ourselves?
Based on modern culture, I do wonder if we human beings have not devolved rather than evolved. I know we have cars that go "zoom-zoom" and planes flying high above our heads. Yet, is this evolution? "No" is my response. Evolution is to take wings and fly or learning how to disappear from one place and appearing in another.
If you can do that, I'll be impressed. If you are flying in an airplane, I'm not so impressed.
