Evolution

Sometimes I just wonder if we believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution (Personally I doubt on it since I read some material where Darwin is proved to be wrong) then what will be next phase of this process called 'Evolution'.
Till man started walking on two feet evolution is very much governed by natural forces. The main driving force behind evolution was natural selection and survival of fittest. We can say man survived due to his unique power of thinking and superior brain. He not only survived but started dominating earth. Due to hunger for innovation he created imbalance in nature around him and became reason for extinction of many species. So what is next? Are we still evolving or we have stopped this natural process of evolution.
I guess "Yes" , we are still evolving but not naturally. It is man made evolution through his own innovations. It sounds like Sci - Fi movie but it is real. We slowly morphing our selves into cyborgs. Remember Dr Warwick, very alive cyborg who has got fitted chip which can communicate to his neural network. He has successfully operated robot arm through internet. Just think of moving robot arm up seating in New York and ..... abra kd dabra .....it started moving up in London. That’s I call evolution.
I think by the end of this century every one of us will be fitted with chips....communicating without phones, driving cars even without touching steering wheel, writing Blogs just as you think.
One more breakthrough in medical research is trying to dominate this evolution - "Stem Cells". Scientist has created sperm from bone marrow which can replace male sperm in reproduction process. So naturally males are going to become redundant. Research also proves that Y chromosome in Male (which make them Male) is fast deteriorating bcoz it is not adaptable to mutation unlike X chromosome. So mail fertility is declining over the years. In other words mail are on path of extinction.
So conclusion - Be prepared for all woman world with Cyborgs where every one is super hero grrr.... Super "heroine"

Evolution a wonderful term.... man has always been fascinated by his orgin... both science and religion have been stiving to know How life started or rather How and When the world was created.
It fascinates me too, however there is no clear picture still as far as origin of man and the world. So even if we assume that we were created on some hypothetical time period in the past, a question still pops up in my mind as to Why we were created? What the purpose of our life? What happens after we pass away form this world?
Its true that man has evolved so much due to his intelligence and his brain, but what is the driving force behind that intelligence. We all know that just having brain is not enough there has to be an intelligence involved. Computers have a lot of computing power but they cannot learn and evolve by themselves.
Today our scientists can perform surgeries from remote locations, they can produce clones and develop human parts using Stem cells. But still I feel we have not understood even 1 % of the interrelations i.e.cause and effects in nature. For e.g. We know the chemical composition of blood. But can we produce blood in laboratory. The answer is no and it will be long way to go before we achieve that. But man's nature is to strive for the impossible and probably that's the reason he has eveolved and survived. But there still question in my where do we go from here? Why am I living this life? Is there any answer to this?
