'SOMETHING
THAT CANNOT BE DIVIDED'!
That I am an 'IN-
DIVIDUAL' implies that my true self
is a holistic entity rather than an assemblage of separate parts?!
This indivisible èssence allegedly endures from one moment to the next without losing
or absorbing anything. My body and brain undergo a constant process of change, as neurons
fire, hormones flow & muscles contract.
My personality,
wishes & relationships never stand still,
and may be completely transformed over years & decades? But underneath it all I remain the same
person from birth to death - and hopefully beyond death as well! Unfortunately, the theory of evolution
rejects the idea that my true self is some indivisible, immutable
& potentially eternal èssence...!
According to the theory of evolution,
all biological entities - from elephants & oak trees to cells and DNA
molecules - are composed of smaller & simpler parts that ceaselessly combine and separate. Elephants
and cells have evolved gradually, as a result of new combinations & splits.
Something that cannot be divided or changed
cannot have come into
existence through
natural selection.
