The dialectic does not admit direction and purpose. It does not deal with the fundamental problem of action. The dialectic did not deal with why existing beings try to act, and why they try to become one. Because the dialectic does not have direction centered on purpose, the development of the dialectic is made centering on itself. In the dialectic, an existent being develops toward a greater one. In explaining the process of evolution by the dialectic, what cannot be understood is explained by mutation. Then, why does the mutation occur? What is the cause of the action, direction, and purpose of mutation? The mutation itself cannot be the cause of any action, direction, and purpose.

When a man and woman love each other today, can the direction, action, and purpose of their love be different from those of our ancestors' love in ancient times? No! Then why doesn't mutation occur in human beings' love? If evolution has developed continuously until now, why did it stop at the stage of humans? If the doctrine of evolution is right, then evolution would develop beyond the stage of humans. Why did it stop with humans? That is the problem. Is it because humans wanted to stop at this stage? Is it possible that evolution is stopped by human's thinking? No! A human being cannot decide the position of his own existence by himself; he is in a position that was predestined before his creation.

That proves that consciousness preexisted creation in the universe. Human beings cannot explain even the origin of their eyes. Neither the dialectic nor the doctrine of evolution can explain that. You will have to fight against Communism in the near future. We have to destroy the theory of the dialectic and the doctrine of evolution. When we destroy the doctrine of evolution, then the dialectic will be destroyed naturally. What is the present crucial issue? The problem of which came first: consciousness or matter. Communists think of matter as coming first and therefore having the highest value. On the other hand, the democratic world thinks consciousness came first.

Our eyes consist of matter. By whom were the eyes made? Those who think that eyes were made by themselves must be crazy. Also, the nose doesn't move around, but the eyes do. When a person is asked why the eyes move around, if he answers, "Because they want to," then he may be an evolutionist or materialist. The purpose of eyes is to see. Therefore, because they have the purpose to see, eyes move around. In order to fulfill their purpose, eyes move. Why does a person blink his eyes? Because water evaporates, the eyes blink in order to keep moist. On the other hand, a person's nose does not move even if dust becomes attached on it.

What is the purpose of eyelashes? It is to prevent dust from getting in the eyes. Why were eyelashes created as they are? Because they wanted to become like that? (Laughter.) It is not a simple matter, as some may think. If someone here says it is, I will scold him, saying, "Such a crazy fellow! Shut up!" Then, when the eyes first open, would they know that the universe exists? "There is the sun, and because there is air too, then dust particles would rise and water would evaporate." Would the eyes know such things at first? Please answer. (No, they wouldn't.) So if people can say that eyes evolved by the dialectical development to be able to adjust the environment, even though the eyes did not know about the condition of the environment, then such people must be crazy indeed. The purpose of eyes preexisted the eyes. That is, eyes before they emerged were made to be able to adapt themselves to the environment . Therefore, which came first between matter and consciousness? (Consciousness!)

Regarding the problem of the origin of human beings, they did not evolve by a developing cause within human beings themselves - what is called human consciousness. There must have been a prior fundamental action, direction, and purpose in the creation of human beings. Neither humans nor any other existing being evolved and developed just as they wished. They must have come into existence as substantial entities having definite purpose, action, and direction. Then, why were humans born as the highest animal? They were born with the purpose of having to accomplish the position of the highest animal, and they were born with the direction to have to go in as the highest animal. You should know this. (93:176)
