Every symmetry of physics laws leads to a conservation law, and every conservation law arises from a symmetry in the laws of physics.
Symmetry is the casual structure built into the creation module. The creation module has a two-way arrow of time that is built into it. All current information is always passed back into the versatile storage unit. These informational totals can’t be changed or deleted.
The closed sub-atomic quantum system is a duplicate of the macro quantum system. The two systems interact on a binary basis.
THE REALITY OF HOW LIFE FORMS CAME ABOUT ON THIS REMOTE BLUE MARBLE IS THIS: THE EVENT ORIGINATOR WROTE THE CODE, PRODUCED THE BLUEPRINT, AND USED AN EVOLVEMENT PROCESS TO OBTAIN THE REQUISITE RESULT.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CODE THAT YOU START WITH.
THE DESIGNER/CREATOR’S PROCESS : (recap).
1ST: Write the code for the upcoming big bang that will create another universe. (One universe does not an infinity make.)
2nd: Write the code for the design and descent for all intended results as the event unfolds. ( One event does not an eternity make).
3rd: Set the event in motion. All things are triune, with binary interactives.
4th: Monitor, fine-tune, adjust, and select out on-going.
5th: Use DESIGN AND DECENT as the process. Write a separately coded blueprint for the consciousness of the known thought reposers.
6th: It’s not the people; it’s the event.
7th: Harvesting new crops of known thought reposers was the intended result.
ONE UNIVERSE DOES NOT MAKE AN INFINITY.
ONE EVENT DOES NOT MAKE AN ETERNITY.
EVOLUTION IS ONLY PART OF THE PROCESS.*
ALL THINGS ARE TRIUNE, WITH BINARY INTERACTIVES.
BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL IS ONLY GOOD.
IT’S NOT THE PEOPLE, ITS THE EVENT.
GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGED.
IN THE END, CHOICES ARE NEVER FREE.
WHAT TO DO, IS UP TO YOU.
GETTING BEYOND EVIL IS A START.
Evolution #2: “Common Descent” or “Universal Common Descent”
Many biologists today also commonly use the term evolution to refer to the idea that all organisms are related by common ancestry. This idea is also known as the theory of universal common descent. This theory affirms that all known living organisms are descended from a single common ancestor somewhere in the distant past. In On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin made a case for the truth of evolution in this second sense. In a famous passage at the end of the Origin, he argued that “probably all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form.”4 Darwin thought that this primordial form gradually developed into new forms of life, which in turn progressively developed into other forms of life, eventually producing, after many millions of generations, all the complex life we see in the present.
Evolution #3: “The Creative Power of the Natural Selection/Random Variation (or Mutation) Mechanism”
Evolution is also commonly used to refer to the cause or mechanism that produces the biological change depicted by Darwin’s tree of life. When development is used in this way, it usually refers to the mechanism of natural selection acting on random variations or mutations. (Modern “Neo-Darwinists” propose that natural selection works on a special kind of variation called genetic mutations. Mutations are unexpected changes in the chemical subunits that convey information in DNA. Modern Neo-Darwinists would also affirm the role of other undirected evolutionary mechanisms such as genetic drift. However, such mechanisms are typically thought to be of minor importance compared to mutation/selection in generating the adaptive complexity of life.)
Evolution #3a: The Natural Selection/Random Variation (or Mutation) Mechanism Can Explain the Appearance of Design in Living Systems apart from the Activity of an Actual Designing Intelligence.
Evolutionary biologists since Darwin have affirmed that the natural selection/variation mechanism not only explains the origin of all new biological forms and features; they have also confirmed a closely related idea, namely, that this mechanism can explain one particularly striking feature of biological systems: the appearance of design. Biologists have long recognized that many organized structures in living organisms—the elegant form and protective covering of the coiled nautilus; the interdependent parts of the vertebrate eye; the interlocking bones, muscles, and feathers of a bird wing — “give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.”5 During the nineteenth century, before Darwin, biologists were particularly struck by how living organisms seemed well adapted to their environments. They attributed this adaptation of organisms to their environments to the planning and ingenuity of a powerful designing intelligence.
Assessing Different Concepts of Theistic Evolution (or Evolutionary Creation)
The three different meanings of evolution discussed above correspond to three possible and distinct concepts of theistic evolution, one of which is trivial, one of which is contestable but not incoherent, which appears deeply problematic. In the last case, special attention is due to the critical issue of whether theistic evolutionists regard the evolutionary process as guided or unguided.
If by “evolution” the theistic evolutionist means to affirm evolution in the first sense — change over time — and if, further, the theistic evolutionist confirms that God has caused that “change over time,” then certainly no theist would contest the theological orthodoxy or logical coherence of such a statement. Suppose a personal God of the kind affirmed by biblical Judaism or Christianity exists. In that case, there is nothing logically contradictory in such a statement, nor does it contradict any specific theological tenets. The Jewish and Christian scriptures affirm that God has caused change over time, not only in human history but also in creating the world and different life forms.
A Logically Contradictory View
In the first place, some formulations of theistic evolution that affirm the third meaning of evolution result in logical contradictions. For example, suppose the theistic evolutionist means to verify the standard neo-Darwinian view of the natural selection/mutation mechanism as an undirected process while simultaneously affirming that God is still causally responsible for the origin of new forms of life. In that case, the theistic evolutionist implies that God somehow guided or directed an unguided and undirected process. Logically, no intelligent being — not even God — can handle an undirected process. As soon as he requires it, the “undirected” process would no longer be undirected.
In the chapters of Theistic Evolution, we will provide a much more extensive critique of theistic evolution in three distinct sections of this book. Our three selections will not correspond to the three different meanings of the term evolution but rather to three separate disciplinary sets of concerns: scientific, philosophical, and theological. In each section of the book, however, our authors will carefully define the specific formulation of theistic evolution they are critiquing.
