My ramblings on evolution with some side-views

[TheRapingDragon]

Warning: This thread will probably make no sense but I thought I may put it down in words in order to see what anyone wants to say. This isn't an "I'm right you're wrong" kind of thread, nor is this me wanting an "evolution vs creationism" thread.

Recently Krissy watched a show on evolution and when we were out she asked me what my views on evolution were. I started talking and somehow came out with a whole slew of my thoughts and theories that probably don't even relate to evolution. Seeing as how it was all spoken I'm not sure how well I can put it down in words but lets see how this goes.

To start, I feel that evolution is entirely possible. I have always felt that the strongest part of a species will be prevalent and will eventually edge out the weaker species or members of that species. This in turn leads to the strongest lasting longest and from breeding will eventually cause changes due to the strongest parts always being present. In this way I feel evolution is possible over time (however much) to allow a complete change in characteristics such as that from an ape to a man. I am aware that man and ape may not be direct descendants but I am only using that as an example of possibility, rather than fact.

Based on this I believe that it's entirely possible for all life to have evolved from single celled organisms. The most basic lifeforms can eventually strength to form any entity really. Now, and this is where I start to deviate a little. My theory of evolution does not limit itself to simple organisms. I try to look at how everything is comprised of some form of energy. Humans, for example, are carbon-based lifeforms. In this sense the stars, the sun, everything is a life-form if it comprises of some form of energy. In this sense I try to assume that evolution can be energy-based. Is it not entirely logical that the strongest aspects of energy can evolve to create the dominant energy source. In my views it is entirely possible for single celled organisms to have evolved from energy from the sun, which in turn has evolved from energy throughout the universe in order to display the strongest attributes of energy itself, comprising of solar systems et al. Eventually having to evolve from whatever the most base energy started the universe.

As an aside, I went on to say that I felt that the universe was constantly expanding, but as we all know energy itself cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed. I believe that eventually the universe will stretch enough to pull all of energy to such an extent that it eventually has to "spring-back" in the sense that the universe will eventually have to start shrinking again, until all of energy has regressed to the single-state of the beginning of the universe. Where all energy will be as one again. Then the big bang will start again (or whichever evolution of energy that occurred at the beginning) and things will start to grow again.

If we continue to look at things this way then we can say that the universe is cyclical. Evolution is only part of the equation to getting the universe to the size at which energy (source of evolution) cannot continue and must regress again.

I have two problems with my own theory. One is that, again, energy cannot be created or destroyed; so how did the initial energy source begin? If energy is the base building block of evolution then how did energy exist in the first place in order to be able to evolve?

The second problem I have is that energy can be changed to a source to which no logical evolution can take place. For example, I am aware that eventually the sun will run out of energy. If this is the case then the energy will not be able to evolve in any way around the universe (such as other suns) and that would, by my theory, end the universe itself. If there is no possible evolution then the universe will either keep expanding or keep rebounding at quicker and quicker intervals, eventually becoming just the initial "big-bang" forever due to insufficient energy to begin evolution to allow the universe to expand.

So anyway, that's just some ramblings that I said to her when she asked and I thought I'd share them.
