Re: Pilgrims' Notes

Hi Mark-
I'm taking this from my understanding of what the Master wrote in SAQ.

Also I seem to recall an article in the WO Mag by a scholar that was
titled something like Man, Distinctly Human.
Are you saying that science is absolutely correct in its theory of
evolution? Are we just highly evolved animals? Where does our
intelligence come from? Was it always there in mineral, vegetable and

animal but it needed evolution to appear in humans?
I seem to recall the term "distinctly human" in an article in the WO
Mag. some years back. Course we can say that our understanding of all

this is better now than when that article appeared. But then we also
must admit our current understanding is temporary.
regards,
doug

If I understand you correctly, that is a good summation of what some
Baha'is have called "parallel evolution" (i.e., creationism).
