Abstract.
Over the decades, many have accepted the speculative evolution hypothesis as fact and it has even taken its place in modern pop fiction. However, many sources including the very nature of so called “evolution”, the Vedic texts and other ancient sources including the tripitaka and computer simulated models of generic entropy shows otherwise. (John. C. Sanford)
The main claim of this hypothesis states that “devolution” is the loss of complexity of the organisms over time in exchange for greater simplicity. The primary example of evolution being natural selection is nothing but a mechanism of devolution and inevitable extinction. Genetic mutations are entropic in nature and do not signify evolution, quite the opposite. Scientists who support evolution suggest that the tendency of organisms to become simpler is an adaptive process persuaded by necessity and therefore can be seen as an evolution rather than devolution. However, it still isn’t a sufficient explanations to justify the “evolution” of the Tyrannosaurus Rex which had a larger and compact brain, superior hunting skills and binocular eyesight, to a chicken. It still cannot explain the oversimplification of the jaws of fish, reptiles and mammals. The so called explanation in its self can be used against the evolution hypothesis. The hypothesis still remains to be accepted by mainstream scientists as the willingness of putting the effort is a matter of whether one likes it or not , and the overwhelming evidence pointing towards this hypothesis makes it a worthwhile study.
Perhaps, with this hypothesis, we can better explain why irrigation systems built by our ancestors defy modern scientific understandings. Perhaps we could explain the invention of the profound pyramids, which would take a ridiculous amount of resources and effort to replicate even with modern day equipment. Perhaps we could explain the Silurian Hypothesis which suggests that humanoid beings may have co-existed with the prehistoric creatures such as the dinosaurs and have long since gone extinct. Perhaps this could explain why recent studies have shown a steady decline in IQ of humans. This better strengthens the second law of thermodynamics, as 90% of genetic diversity and complexity has long since gone extinct, leaving gradual dissolution of the gene pool over time, reaching eventual monotony and simplification of organisms. There is always the possibility that both these theories stand to be true as we have only observed a miniscule period of the universe. Who’s to say that evolution and devolution occurring as a cycle of birth and death of a species as a whole isn’t true?
