The Evolutionary Worldview
John Stuart is among many of the pioneers who are helping us understand the evolutionary worldview in a meaningful and truly spectacular fashion. So often we hear about evolution and think that it is a meaningless and hopeless perspective. It’s all just random? It’s all just a big fluke? And while there is randomness and luck involved in our universe, this explanation does not satisfy a human mind that seeks meaning. We are meaning making creatures and therefore a worldview that is based on meaninglessness is deeply unsatisfying.
In this clip, John helps us understand a little bit about how an interpretation of evolution that leaves room for human creativity and storytelling is arising. He encourages us to begin studying the dynamics of our universe and the engines of evolution. In doing so, he says, we are taking part in the evolution of the human which is our destiny. Quite the perspective! And anything but meaningless and hopeless!
