The Human race...my God!!
Where ever you go, you find them, there is no place worth its name without them...well yes iam talking about the human race. Is it not surprising that some birds found in India are not found anywhere else, some animals found in India nowhere else? It is equally true that some flora and fauna found else where are not available in India.... But, the human beings are everywhere!!! A serious pilgrim should ask... why?
There is somuch diversity around us. Scientists tell us that the diversity what we find today is because the species adapted themselves to their respective surroundings and have continuously evolved to master the surroundings...and thats the reason there are somany species of frogs, fish, sheep, dogs, and all other animals spread all over the world. Men have also adapted to the surroundings (which they chose?) and thus you find the various shades of skin color. Somehow man's adaptation (evolution?) has stopped at the skin level. Is it because there is nothing much to be put through evolution in him??... is man the culmination of evolution?? Or we are still on the continuum....we may evolve into someone(thing!!) else in the centuries to come??? This might be a disturbing thought if we were to believe in the theory of evolution. What determines the culmination of evolution? What guarantee that this human race will exist as human race for centuries or millennia to come and not evolve into something else?
Lets remain in the domain of logic and analyse this fact. Man is supposed to have evolved from animals. And this evolution, mind you, is not an overnight process. It must have taken somany millennia for the evolution to have impacted some observable change from the previous species. And surely the learning of newer skills must have been a team work...like we have some group of scientists who create some machines that make life easy... so these groups of animals must have found new uses for the hands and legs and must have passed on the knowledge to their offsprings....who must have carried from there on and innovated some more newer things....and so an as a relay race.
And when the innovations with regard to the usage of the body almost got saturated...and became a norm...the mental capabilities took their turn. And (finally?) we are the result of such a fascinating evoltionary process. But, after us....what? or rather WHO??
Is the concept of God an answer to our questions? Is it possible that the ancients fore saw the evolution beyond man...and called that resulting species, God? Probably this is what all religions are saying....our journey is to God....are they meaning evolution here??? Thats preposterous!!!....you might argue....but what if this is the TRUTH?
