For the first time after billions of years of evolution matter in the form of human beings has evolved to a point where we can consciously change the course of evolution on earth and beyond.
From the beginning of time, call it Creation or Big Bang, energy and matter evolved. Energy transformed into fundamental particles of matter which grouped into simple atoms such as hydrogen. Gigantic clouds of such matter condensed into Galaxies forming Stars where more complex, heavier, atoms and molecules were created. When these stars died (just like we do) they let the matter they were made of become available to the rest of the universe. Atoms combined with other atoms to form molecules and compounds. From these heavier elements and compounds planets formed where arrangements of matter continued to evolve. On Earth this evolution continued to form life forms, some intelligent, conscious and ultimately human beings with life, intelligence, consciousness and a conscience.
Some may argue we were created and did not evolve. Reality is that the universe was both created and has evolved. Many religions, for example the catholic church believes this.
No other animal, plant or other being other than the almighty God has had the ability to consciously direct or change evolution. This puts a huge yoke of responsibility upon us. We human beings can make important choices that can change the future of this planet and our universe. If we choose to do nothing that is still a choice albeit a terrible choice. If we do nothing climate across the world will change, huge swaths of earth will be submerged with rising seas, pollution will kill millions of our fellow human beings, and ultimately the destruction of human life, maybe all life, on earth.
The path to the evolution of the human species is paved by cannibalism, cooperation, conflict and the survival of the fittest. Galaxies devour other galaxies, animals eat other animals, animals and even plants both cooperate with each other individually and in groups as well as fight each other individually and in groups to fulfill "Survival of the fittest". If we choose not to change, evolution will continue its merry way and our species will join the hundreds of other species that have become extinct along the way.
If we human beings choose to cooperate rather than compete with each other there are hugh opportunities to change the course of evolution on our planet. For example, instead of each country on earth spending $100 million to plant their flag on the moon, this money could be spent on geoengineering. Perhaps if we had a democratically elected world government over and above existing national governments it will help getting all people of earth working together.
