Please, gentle reader, do not think that I have gone demented or that I am trying to support the re-election of President Trump, which amounts more or less to the same thing. This is, I am afraid, a serious matter, believe me.
I am not sure that I have already said it in this column, but I strongly believe that the Principle of Evolution is the most important idea in the history of humanity since Genesis. And notice that I call it Principle, rather than Theory, to avoid the belief that it is something tentative, yet to be proved.
Already, Charles Darwin had produced more than enough evidence for it, and since his time more and more results reinforce its validity. This Principle can be applied in two ways. In a microform, it tells us how a species is created and how its individuals evolve in such a way that they become gradually better adapted to the environment. But there is also a macro form of the principle, to the extent that the total environment evolves always by changing from a given state to another more stable one.
And here comes the rub, because you might think, jolly good, things become always better, which is what Mr Trump would like us to believe, under his amazing stewardship. This is utterly wrong because a more stable environment is not necessarily one in which our human species can survive.
