Revelation. Religious ecstasy. Fun stuff. I've had one, when I realized the critical role of belief in establishing any civilization. Everyone that I consider civilized shares a belief system with me. We accept that there is probably no personal magical entities out there, wherever.

We accept that science is the best social adaptation that humans have evolved to solve problems. Science yields knowledge - information about our shared reality. And the unknown can be packaged into our belief system.

The belief system in the Evolving Church of Science says only that we should minimize belief. Accept the probability that there aren't any magic gods out there who have our backs. We are on our own here on our wet little planet. And we should start taking better care of it and each other.

Welcome to an evolutionary journey as a member of the Evolving Church of Science. New memberships will be available as soon as I figure out one of those cash internet thingies.

It came to me in a revelation. I see clearly now. The cash will follow from a good idea. People like good ideas because that's how evolution progresses. Ideas are information, the 'coin of the realm' for biological evolution via natural and artificial selection. Whether the information is in DNA or libraries, Ideas are functionally no different than alternative genetic sequences.

The ongoing questions are merely to assess what happened when that information got deployed through some technology. Be it our cells, our hands, our machines or our churches, each manifestation can alter our evolutionary journeys.

Thinking is the adaptation that truly makes us civilized humans. I wish more people did more of it....
