From what you've said I'm pretty sure you don't understand how biology works, or how evolution works


Go ahead then and explain how evolution works.  Worship

If you actually want to learn how evolution works, go read a science book, I recommend The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.

What I'm calling you out on is your use of the term is not as it is used in science. Evolution just means change over time, it doesn't imply that things get better.

You are using 'evolution' in the new age sense that adds the idea of progression, like going through the education system. You hear people talking about 'soul evolution' which is just totally not understanding the concept.

So when you say that the difference between human bodies made up of elements that gives rise to consciousness, and the universe itself, is just a "different stage of evolution" that's not what evolution means, and I don't think it's even a coherent concept in any sense of the word. Humans aren't going to evolve into conscious universes.

I also say you don't understand biology because a mind is the product of biological processes. We have no examples of minds that are not part of biological organisms so it is not reasonable to ascribe sentience to the universe.
