Relating evolutionary principles, or any philosophical idea whatsoever, was never one of Q'uo's fortes, after all. At the expense of honesty, there is always an over arching need to serve the interests of magical notions, which is perceived to be more effective in connecting people with their spiritual natures, validating things perceived to be personally transcendent, and well, generally indulging any fantasy idea which is harmless to entertain, yet carries a charge typically related to hope.
But you don't really need to accept everything stated on such a literal level. For example, you can freely invoke your holographic multiple-possibility universe idea, and in some reality it is (must) be so because it is merely desirable to be so.
Thank you for your explanation. This has helped me to better understand your views!
If you care to share further, what is your opinion of hope? Do you think it's silly or otherwise counterproductive to have hope in something that might be just a fantasy? Do you think there is any inherent value in hope?
