HISTORY'S PROGRESS THUS FAR (cont.)

In further support of what I have been writing of late, it appears that unification is in consonance with the precepts of evolution as propounded by Charles Darwin.  The Incomparable Darwin and his successorshave proposed that all living creatures evolve, and thus change, in order to survive and flourish.  If this be correct (and I believe that, today, there is little rational basis for doubting the accuracy of this theory--i.e., either as a conviction that this is the method God utilized to create His universe; or by which the universe has otherwise come into being), then the human body ("morphological evolution") and human behavior ("cultural evolution") are likewise ever-changing and developing, for the dsake of possession by uws of better chances for survival and success as organisms.  It would thus appear to follow that the uniformity and unification which has been occurring in our behavior and our organizations over these countless millenniaare themselves actual expressions of these very evolutionary trends, having as their underlying purpose the promotion of our greater likelihood of survival, and our greater success as living beings.

In short, if mankind's history comprises a progression from tiny isolated groups of prehistoric humans to ever larger groupings--until we see, in the current day, a world composed of nation-states, and combinations of nation-states mnbound togetherin various ways--then it seems illogical and unlikely that the progression will end there.  It seems, in fact, a further and inevitable next step in this direction for the entirety of humankind to join together into the formation of a united world, guided by a single sensible and beneficent universal government.  For if benefits were had by the joinder of a number of tiny isolated prehistoric communities into larger groups, and finally into nations and empires--then it appears to be a like obvious and indisputable fact that further benefit can, should, and will be derived from this continued and final combination of all of the earth's people into a single unified entity.

Of course, if this be thus self-evident, one would be impelled to say, "It's going to happen anyway--sowhy bother advocating for change?  Let time take its course; and let things occur naturally."  However, it is my fear that the now somewhat likewise unavoidable "Second Big Bang" might occur before this eventual final unification has had a chance to take place.  And so, I strongly urge we take matters into our own hands--in a peaceful and law-abiding way--"getting the ball rolling," and "getting the job done," before it is too late.
