Are we, homo sapiens, the pinnacle of evolution, or just the current version? Are we, as sentient beings, at the apex of the evolutionary process, or are we still on the journey and maybe somewhere out there in the vastness of the universe are our more evolved relatives? Versions 2.0 and 3.0 and so on (or would it be 1.1.2, 1.1.3…? I don’t know how that works).
In any event, what I’m wrestling with this morning is our uniqueness. Are we made in the image of God and there’s nothing more to come, or are we the predictable and natural culmination of processes thus far?
Different ways of asking the same question? I don’t know.
