INTRODUCTION
✨ In this thought-provoking teaching, Master Woo Myung addresses the question of whether humans evolved from apes. According to Truth, every creation has its original essence, meaning a human being has always been a human being, and an ape has always been an ape.
Although environmental conditions may cause minor external changes, the intrinsic essence of each being remains exactly what it is. Just as a carp cannot become a dace, nor a crucian become a carp, each lifeform exists as its own original nature. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
How true is the theory that man is evolved from apes?
The original essence of man and all creations in the world is that everything is just what it is. This means that a human being is a human being and an ape is an ape. A carp could not possibly become a dace because a dace is its own breed, as is the carp. Although they may look similar, a dace cannot become a carp.
Of course, some changes occur through the conditions of the environment, but the original essence of something is itself; a human being has always been a human being, it is not that an ape evolved into one. Many shapes of fishes are in the same way. A catfish and a snakehead, a loach and a snakehead are not the same, a crucian and a carp, and a dace and a crucian are not the same. In other words, they did not become different through evolution.
