What do you think "evolution from simple beginnings" actually means?


A gentle tap from my clue bat, Destroyer: 'Simple' is taken relative to presently-observed complexity.

You don't have any experiences beyond those of the empirical world with which to develop a semantics for 'evolution'.
You can talk about your meditations, but I can call what you say 'anecdotes' unless you can do something empirical besides make noises.

Does simplicity, as opposed to presently-observed complexity, rule out idealism? Because that is what you seemed to be saying to Little idiot.

As far as experiences "beyond the empirical world" go, you will never ever hear such a thing from me!

ETA: addition for clarification.
