Human life has an objective cause just as does other life in the universe. Life forms, from microorganisms through to higher animals have been created based on the model of man. Evolution is merely a viewpoint based on the result. Man, who is purposeful being, was bound from the beginning to be created. With that in mind, the universe come about. From microorganisms to higher animal, we are all created through a principled procedure.

1) Critique of the Doctrine of Evolution Concerning Humans

Since human beings are born and have life, then they have a cause of that birth and life, just like any other living thing in the universe. In fact, God created every existing being from minerals to the higher animals, based on the image or pattern of human beings. From this understanding, the traditional theory of the evolution of life is based on looking at nothing but the resultant effect.

Because the universe and all things were created according to the pattern of human beings, then from the beginning, the universe was created in imitation of humans. Every existing being, from microorganisms to the higher animals, is connected through the fundamental process of creating according to the human model. From this viewpoint, the development of creation did not occur unconsciously but was based on a clear purpose of creation. Therefore, every created thing came into being based on having a purpose of existence. In fact, every being has dual purposes of existence: an external purpose and an internal purpose. Human beings are no exception. We have the purpose of the body and the purpose of the mind.

Why do human beings have dual purposes? That would seem to only create problems. However, because both the world of external matter and the world of the internal mind exist, then human beings as the center of the universe cannot but have dual purposes in order to connect the two worlds. These dual purposes should not be in conflict or separate from each other, but should become one. It is in harmonizing and unifying the dual purposes that our ideal of existence as human beings can be realized. In order for the dual purposes to become one, we should establish order between them, an order that results in one unified purpose, which is the completion of human beings. Such a completed man and a completed woman relate in order to become one.

Why should man and woman have to become one? Before talking about this issue, we should consider Darwin's theory of evolution. Evolution cannot occur without some action that advances beings and makes them become one. Because evolution itself is not the cause but instead the result, in order for evolution to occur, there should be some force that causes the evolution. The force would be one that tries to develop two beings and combine them with each other. Thus, evolution occurs based on a force that tries to advance two beings to a higher level.

Then, who made that force? Because evolution is the result, evolution itself cannot make some direction to advance beings to a higher level. There must be some force that causes evolution. That force gives the direction to evolution. Then, why does the force have a direction? A direction cannot be made without any purpose. Thus, unless an existing being has a consciousness of its purpose, it cannot have direction. If there is no purpose, direction is random. Therefore, in order for two existing beings to develop a higher being, they have to be moved by a force to try to develop and combine with each other. Thus, in order for evolution to occur, existing beings have to have direction and purpose.

Evolution cannot occur by itself. It requires a relative relationship. Also, in order for some action to occur, both sides must benefit by becoming greater. If both sides would become weaker, the action could not occur. You should know this principle. The reason why a man and woman try to join with each other centering on love is not because they want to suffer a loss. They love each other expecting to attain some higher development.

Therefore, the action of love is given for the sake of the other person. The direction of love is for the sake of the other. Only a direction for the sake of the other person can develop each person to become higher. Moreover, everything is formed by the purpose of living for the sake of each other. Therefore, action has dual characteristics, direction has dual characteristics, and purpose also has dual characteristics. (93:173)
