To All Members: Last week, there was an article about the possible evolution of human beings into two species. The theory is that the separation will be essentially physical in nature. IMO, this theory has a fatal weakness in that it did not include the role of consciousness in the development of human beings. It is entirely possible that the separation could be in terms of those who are "enlightened" and those who are not.
The author of the article wrote that some humans in the future will become more dependent on so called advances in science, such as gene therapy, to cure illnesses and select certain attributes in their babies' physical characteristics. This type of development, in vedic terms, is not necessarily a guarantee to the evolution of the human soul. It could only further the people's attachment to the phenomenal world, which is only a source of human suffering. Regards, John R.
