Comments on: Do you see evolution as a necessity or as a possibility?

‘Even if something could be known about it, knowledge about it can’t be communicated to others. Gorgias’ – solipsism
So we can’t learn about solipsism either.

I see your point now. But we disagree on that. I am no fan of HipHipHuray optimism, but neither of nihilistic pessimism. Nihilism can be sobering and even somewhat acceptable for that matter, not endlessly though. I believe and know to some degree that there are potentialities in man that are not subdued to random change and endless (pointless ) entropy.

I think there’s change in the world and evolution is only a term made by the human mind.. some things get better or bigger some gets worse and its all subjective and none of it matters anyway.

Yep, the “glorious finale” is a precondition – according to believers in necessity. Kind of emotional or what? Or the blogger was sort of onesided in this post? Dunno…
But I would be interested to hear about your skepticism.

The question itself is full of preconditions, e.g. the existence of some kind of “glorious finale”… From the given choices I’d take “possibility”. Otherwise I’m sceptical.
