The sort of evolving I am referring to is not the kind we see when the leaders of nations come together and have a conference. Not even close. We have an emergency. But you have to look at that emergency in geologic time. And even if you believe the earth is only 6000 years old and not 4.5 billion, 100 years is still a short time out of 6000. The task of getting past these crisis's and saving our butts is mighty big. So big, that it will take the efforts of not just governments, FEMA, the military, the Red Cross, or any other entity that handles disasters, but it will take just about everyone on the planet. At least in the sense that major cooperation and sacrifice will be needed. And that has to start right freaking now. Putting it off and waiting for the right legislation or global accords is not going to get us there.
We are getting nowhere with our diverse ideologies. They have been fun, but the fun is over. If Christians can lay aside there ideologies and other religions do the same, we may have a chance. But ideologies are our Achilles Heel in this regard. They are doing nothing but stagnating us. Can religions "put aside" their differences? I doubt it. That is why I figure the only hope to just try and get them to dump them. It is like an alcoholic, you can't get them straight until they lay the bottle down altogether. A sip here and a sip there just puts them back in the drunk tank. Right now, where it comes to religion, we are in the drunk tank.
