Gnostic View of Human Evolution - (311)

Introduction

When we commonly talk about evolution we think about the well-known Darwinian theory of evolution. Which Gnosis acknowledges, however not to the full extent that it has been taken lately. Gnosis also acknowledges that of human evolution, however in a sense that it is best explained. This post attempts to explain this.


Full Evolution Extent

Evolution in the sense that in the future we will all evolve to use 100% of our brain capacity and be fully awake, have developed all out latent faculties and potential, have eliminated all sicknesses, have overcome poverty, eliminated war, have knowledge of all the corners of the universe and the human body, etc. is really in Gnostic terms a fiction.

Gnosis does not agree that in the future we will evolve to become angels or Gods. The reason why is because it would not be fair to give something to a human being that he or she does not want or has not worked in order to achieve.

Gnosis however does agree with the various physiological adaptations that have occurred over time in various animal species and in humans to help them better adapt to their environment.


Extrapolating Observed Adaptations to Explain Future and Past

Future

Darwin’s theory of evolution was basically based on his observations of the various adaptations that had occurred in animals. Considering adaptations there are many well know and documented facts that we all can not deny, however to extend these observations into a theory that sees the human being as developing into a God like being in the future is something Gnosis does not agree with.


The diagram below shows the adaptations that have occurred in the Giraffe species over time.


Past

Also on the other hand extending the observation of adaptations to a theory to explain that we have come from a very simple one cell organism etc. something Gnosis does not agree with either. However the idea that is common in evolution studies is that the current human being has its origin in apes, which Gnosis surprisingly does agree with, however this must be explained.


Human Evolution

Basically Gnosis explains that the real authentic human being the one who was united with his/her own spiritual parts had their origin in the absolute and descended gradually to the Earth as creation unfolded and began to condense.


However the human being nowadays Gnosis says has its origin in the mixture of real authentic physical human being who unfortunately fell into degeneration and mixed with the beasts of nature.

This mixture produced numerous half human creatures, of which the apes of all sorts have their origin. Even nowadays the human being is classed as a species of ape. In fact conventional science says that the human being’s DNA is 98% similar to that of a chimpanzee.

So this mixture in the beginning produced so many different humanoids that over time evolved through various processes and other mixtures etc. to be the human being that we have now. Please note it was not as simple as the process that is commonly thought of and which is expressed in the diagram below. That is why Gnosis calls the current human being an intellectual animal.


Conclusion

What Gnosis does acknowledge are the various physiological adaptations that have occurred in various animals and in human beings over the centuries to better adapt to the changing conditions of their environments.

Gnosis does not agree with extrapolation of this to explain the future and past of eh human being.

Gnosis does acknowledge much of what has been said in regard to human evolution, essentially because Gnosis sees the human being today as having come from the mixture of real human beings with animals. This mixture or blending produced numerous hominids or humanoids that have evolved over time to become today’s human being
