Isn't De-evolution...... Actually Evolutions????

[Sparky Kronkite]

Isn't de-evolution..... actually evolution??????

(By the way, I spell it, de-evolution, my Sparkyized correct way, the other way is wrong, don't argue please you know it's wrong too.)

In that, even though something may be de-evolving, un-evolving, lessening itself, or returning, whatever - it is after all continuing to move forward - especially in relationship to time. And isn't it, isn't anything - moving ahead in time, as everything is - moving forward? Isn't everything aging? Isn't everything evolving? Isn't everything maturing?

Is it even possible for anything to de-evolve at all?

Time, as far as we all know - never de-evolves. Yes, correct - "you can't turn back time." At least not yet anyway.

Isn't time on my side? Isn't time on our side? Isn't evolution our only constant? Should not evolution (and therefore "change") be our one and only logical religious mantra? Should we not all welcome evolution and change - in everything?

And if so - does that not completely irrationalize, (and negate an need for) - "any organized religion?" Would not all current organized religions be contrary to the logic of evolution - as is Christianity?

Are we a planet of fools, searching for answers in places that make no sense what-so-ever? Are not the answers - right in front of us?

Or is life as meaningless as semantic rule of the written, spoken and illogically spelled word?

(Now see, the Sparkmeister may say some dumb things - on purpose - but nobody should ever accuse him of not thinkin')

they tell us that
we lost our tails
evolving up
from little snails
i say it's all
just wind in sails
are we not men?
we are DEVO!
we're pinheads now
we are not whole
we're pinheads all
jocko homo
are we not men?
D-E-V-O
monkey men all
in business suit
teachers and critics
all dance the poot
are we not men?
we are DEVO!
are we not men?
D-E-V-O
god made man
but he used the monkey to do it
apes in the plan
we're all here to prove it
i can walk like an ape
talk like an ape
i can do what a monkey can do
god made man
but a monkey supplied the glue
we must repeat
o.k. let's go!

I think I can help you on this one.
First of all I don't think there is a "de-evolution" at least not in the sense that you're using it.
Evolution is the process of developing more advanced traits from ancestral primitive ones (ie photo-receptive cells into eyes). We don't really "de-evolve" something, we evolve not to need it like the tail-bone or appendix.
Things can go extinct but that's not really de-evolution but evolution weening out the weak.
However evolution works best on small populations so it's unlikely humans will ever evolve past where we are right now at any great speed.

And time ... time is relative to where you are and how you are moving. Sorry I can't change physics.

As for your more philosophical questions that's something you'll have to take up with a greater power.

De-evolution is a political term, meaning a reduction in centralisation for government. In the UK Scotland and Wales have both just opened their own parliaments, so de-evolution has taken place.

Biological evolution is one way, you don't get back what you've lost, but you might work your way around it. So no more people with tails or walking whales.
