"Wherever there's contention, there's always survivial of
the fittest."
The following is an excerpt from The Origin of Everything which includes its preface and, therefore, the many important reasons that this critical work was written.
Preface
"He who sees things grow from their beginning will have the finest view of them."
~ Aristotle, On the Parts of Animals Charles Darwin, in 1859, released his famous work, The Origin of Species—and this all-important contribution to science was regarded almost immediately as the book that shook the world. This historic publication revealed within its many pages the simple and logical means by which life’s evolution has occurred. Darwin had shown that biological evolution ultimately follows from the principle of survival of the fittest, or what he deemed the theory of natural selection.
Quite simply, those species which are most fit are “naturally selected” to survive. They then have the possibility not only of procreating, but of having young that are fit as well. Through “heritable variation,” all such lineages also have the prospect of giving rise to slight variations in offspring. Although such differentiation is often miniscule by itself, over many successive generations even slight changes can be entirely cumulative, therein resulting in entirely new species.
This powerful tenet immediately gave rise to an utter explosion of scientific discovery in biology, otherwise known as the Darwinian Revolution. The mere notion of this simple principle allowed people to easily understand every adaptation and thus every species known to have lived on our Earth. In the hundred-and-fifty-plus years that have followed since the release of this mighty principle, there have been innumerable smaller discoveries that not only support Darwin’s theory but add to it greatly. In fact, there are now billions of fossils known and recorded which perfectly corroborate the entire evolution of life on Earth from the single-celled organism all the way to the complex human being. These also include fossils from nearly three thousand bipedal, hominid individuals representing more than fifteen different species; and these were not apes nor humans, but intermediate forms that grew taller and more human-like over some 4 million years. When dated by various scientific means, this cold, hard evidence has together revealed innumerable details of a remarkable evolutionary history on our planet—and advances in evolutionary theory too have expanded our knowledge regarding all such biological change.
As revolutionary as it is, however, Darwinian selection immediately finds difficulty when we see that survival of the fittest is actually at work among all systems in nature. Having resided in this universe for many years if not decades, each of us is aware that nature’s innumerable systems are often in contention. Throughout our vast cosmos, we observe competition among natural laws, forces, weather systems, planetary systems and much more. We also see that many such phenomena will often triumph over others, much like species in the biological realm. So when applying these obvious facts of being to our modern awareness of the interactive nature of the universe, we soon realize that the cyclical activity underlying every last phenomenon in nature is, at its true core, not at all different from the many incredible processes involved in biology and its own evolution. In fact, no matter how hard we try to avoid biological terms like competition, cooperation, compromise, survival of the fittest, and more, we will find that these traditionally-biological terms cannot be escaped. We will therefore observe that all such interactive behavior is ever-present throughout the cosmos, as it forever occurs at every level and every moment possible.
We will find that the immense power of survival of the fittest is heightened by the fact that we live among the many throes of a great and endless war. Nature in its entirety is forever engaged in a battle of immense opposition, and we as rational beings know this all too well. On one side of this powerful duality is chaos itself, as everything known ultimately ages and thus degrades. Physicists even tell us that our universe is forever headed toward greater entropy, or ever-increasing oblivion, and that this future cannot be escaped. However, it has passed entirely unnoticed that there is a natural counterpart that never ceases in its attempts to subdue this chaos. In other words, physicists have not yet realized the powerful force forever working in opposition to this disorder and which bares the unbelievable task of holding the turmoil of the entire cosmos in check.
This conflict has remained largely misunderstood throughout all of history, as the true role played by survival of the fittest had never before been known. Like chaos, our protagonist too has been present from the beginning of time and has not ceased in its struggle to maintain this precious balance. Incredibly, however, its powerful role was never before recognized, as its net result, in general, is merely to balance the scales. Selection’s net effect often involves a universe where positive evolution and negative degradation can both be veiled by a world that appears perfectly stable, or unchanging, in nearly every regard.
Just as survival of the fittest has led to an enormous measure of self-organization throughout biology, it has led to the stable self-assembly of our cosmos as well. Not only has it given rise to a biological history that is both continuous and branching, but it explains how every adaptation of every species is highly evolved to its own specific environmental conditions. Correspondingly, universal selection further reveals the continuous development of all such natural phenomena and the powerful means by which each is self-adapted to its own surroundings. It reveals the powerful measure of stability and thus self-order that is inherent of the universe and the simple physics that dictates its very being.
As touched upon, we'll find that selection has thus shaped not only humans and the other innumerable species that have lived on our planet, but our universe at large. It has played a pivotal role in the self-organization of our most fundamental building blocks, ourselves as living beings, and nature in its entirety. It has shaped our bodies and minds, our planet, and our cosmos to be as physically enduring as possible. In short, it has given rise to immeasurable order and thus equilibrium at every level, from the subatomic realm of quantum physics to the universe as a system at large.
Such exploration therefore allows us to better understand our vast cosmos, as we are aware of the single, fundamental principle that gives rise to order and therefore stability among all phenomena. It allows us to better understand nature in terms of selection and, in turn, to comprehend this tenet in terms of the entire universe as well. The scientific endeavor included herein will therefore grant us the ability to know both nature and selection in much greater detail, as we will learn to see all phenomena in the proper context of their simple and chronological development. After all, it is when we understand the incredible logic of our history that learning becomes a process of simply filling in the gaps—and it is selection that gives us the collective ability to find almost every one of these missing pieces.
Survival of the fittest therefore allows us to grasp not only the relative nature of everything known, but to better understand the abstract nature of the universe at large. Einstein revealed a cosmos that, beneath its surface, is absolutely teeming not only with immense activity but with behavior that otherwise could not appear more intangible. He found, for example that time provides a critical fourth dimension, as it too is always relative. This, in turn, showed that space and time are not separate entities, as they are ultimately united as one. Einstein proved, correspondingly, that matter-energy is a single, indivisible entity as well, that gravity follows from the curvature of space-time, and much more. His theory of relativity therefore shed great light not only on the extraordinary nature of the universe, but on the immense order behind these ethereal notions—and universal selection too reveals an enormous amount of logic and thus order underlying all of these same powerful abstractions and more. In fact, when we apply Darwinian survival of the fittest to the incredibly dynamic nature of Einstein’s cosmos, we find that these theories together reveal an unthinkable universe of which even they were not aware.
Call the interactive nature of the cosmos a battle between good and evil, call it order and disorder, evolution and degradation, or call it what you like. The universe at large will never cease in revealing a great match between astronomical powers that are so diametrically opposed that they are predominantly locked in check for all of eternity. They together maintain a performance unlike anything that the world has ever known, for it involves the mightiest of all duals that will never be won. It is the yin and yang clasped in a futile embrace that results, however ironically, in the very stability of our complex world. Despite the magnitude of the opposing forces, they together give rise to a powerful yet symbiotic balance that leads to the incredible formation of a stable universe that is complete with stable planets, species and much more.
In this universe, then, utterly filled with competition at every level, it soon becomes evident that natural selection must be applied not only to biology, but to every last branch of science conceivable. Survival of the fittest is the driving force behind the self-organization of all phenomena, from the microscopic realm of subatomic particles, atoms and molecules, to species, planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe as a system in itself. It is therefore critical that selection ultimately be applied to every last science that has ever been or will be.
At the other end of this grand scientific endeavor, knowledge of selection can also be extremely helpful to the individual and not only with regard to survival, but all that is in excess of mere survival. As our history unfolds, it offers innumerable lessons about weakness, stability, survival, progress, exponential growth, and everything in between. This understanding therefore provides its greatest assistance in allowing us to know the most fundamental processes involved not only in surviving, but in growing and developing in particular. Of course, even mere survival can sometimes pose the greatest of difficulties. So it is my sincere hope that this work is somehow beneficial to every reader—be it some way big or small.
To then summarize the primary intent of the work outlined herein: The book that shook the world is largely incomplete, as it too is now in utter contention. The interactive and thus competitive nature of systems has shaped not only species, but our entire cosmos. It has given rise to the very stability not only within ourselves as living things, but in our world and therefore everything around us. Consequently, selectionism too is a system that must further adapt by taking a large, evolutionary step forward—and ultimately being rewritten.
