Evolution has evolution as its goal.  Evolution of spirit is reflected in
the evolution of physical life.  By looking only at the physical world, you
see only the symptoms of the actual spiritual causative factors in action...

If you wish to understand creation or evolution you must eventually look on
the planes above the physical.  The only known tool for this examination is
the human mind itself.  All the answers are within.  Seek enlightenment and
you find these answers.  Denial will keep you confined within the walls of
your own construction.

Evolutionists and Creationists are not in conflict.  They both misperceive
that they are examining the totality of existance, and therefore come up
with equally invalid explanations of a fraction of the universe.  Both
creation and evolution are valid when understood in the correct context of
the physical world being only the lowest form of manifestation, on the
plane of effects, of those actions and forces acting from higher planes.
