A Better Evolution

One thing you will note quickly is, unlike other cosmological theories, Potentialism doesn’t stop with physics. As we’ll see, Potentialism moves far beyond mere physics and into the realms of biology and evolution.

In fact, Potentialism gives us a significantly updated version of evolution. Gone is the randomness of mutation as the primary developer of life. In its place, we’ll consider an evolution with a “game plan.” As we will explore, Potentialism is a guiding, universal force. As such, things rarely occur randomly in the universe.

Do not confuse this for religion. Potentialism is not a religion, nor does it require religion to function. Instead, Potentialism can be thought of as more of a cosmic blueprint. In pure evolution, we are asked to believe that a bird gains wings through completely random mutations, each one somehow giving a competitive advantage through every iteration.

This can sound quite absurd when trying to get to something as complex as flight. By contrast, Birnbaum's Q4P-driven Evolution

states that flight as an end-goal is legal in the evolutionary game. As we will explore, this greatly simplifies the entire field of evolution.

Simplicity is an overarching hallmark of Potentialism.
