For a century evolutionists have challenged creationists with a large amount of scientific experiments and theories. Was life on Earth
created by God six thousand years ago as described in the Bible or was it a slow and natural evolution spreading over several billion years? 
Most scientists dont want a supernatural being to affect Nature and rather like a Darwinian evolution which provides a mechanism for the formation of life.
Unfortunately, Darwinian evolution encounters significant problems in explaining many biochemical systems which cannot be built up by natural selection alone.
There seems to be no direct mutations, no gradual routes to some very large biochemical systems.
For a while the theory of Intelligent Design satisfied the creationists as it implied the inadequacy of the theory of Evolution in explaining the gradual steps of life to its complex making. The only logical explanation was to believe in the theory of Creation as presented by the Bible. So it seems!
The theory of Intelligent Design postulates that the ordering of separate components to achieve an identifiable function depends sharply on the components. The basis of life is the cell. The big molecules that do the work in the cell are proteins and nucleic acids. They are polymers. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, and the building blocks of nucleic acids are nucleotides. For instance, the DNA is a nucleic acid made up of four different kinds of nucleotides: A, C, G, and T. Amino acids and nucleotides tend to associate together in almost an infinite variety of different molecules. The complexity of the problem faced by the Darwinian scheme of evolution is that evolution cannot explain the step-by-step pathways in a cell. No one
can explain the origin of the complex biochemical systems in a cell. There were no biochemists on Earth several billion years ago. No
laboratories either! The origin of life appears to require an Intelligent Design to direct the complex biochemical processes.
For instance today a biochemist can easily synthesize the components of nucleotides by first purifying and then allowing them to recombine through
chemical reactions. Several billion years ago undirected chemical reactions most often produced useless products. The proponents of the theory
of Intelligent Design concluded that it was becoming
more obvious that the complex biochemical systems of life were not put together gradually but rather quickly. The designer knew what the complex biochemical
systems would look like. The systems were designed by an intelligent agent. Life was purposely arranged.
Guiding Souls are a part of a new thinking concerning the formation of Life everywhere in the Universe and was made public for the first time in 1985 on the websites of Global Civilization.
The fundamental beliefs are as follow.

are a part of a new thinking concerning the formation of Life everywhere in the Universe and was made public for the first time in 1985 on the websites of Global Civilization.
The fundamental beliefs are as follow.The laws of nature can organize matter to build complex biochemical systems that are at the origin of Life forms such as a complex human being. The most relevant laws are: biological reproduction, natural selection and mutation. Each particle of matter has a Guiding Soul.
|
The formation and evolution of all biological structures can be explained in terms of those natural laws and Guiding Souls. |
|
The formation and evolution of all biological structures can be explained in terms of natural laws and Guiding Souls. The existence
of Souls does not necessarily imply a special beginning of the Universe. The Universe may have never had a beginning and probably never did. Souls can only guide the matter of the Universe. Observations of the Universe show the stars in our galaxy, galaxies,
clusters of galaxies, super clusters of galaxies, and many other special objects. A theory of the observable Universe that has stood out over the past decades is the Big Bang theory. Different types of scientific data point at this model. 
Assuming that the Big Bang's model of the observing Universe is correct, it could also be that the observable Universe is a part of an even larger, infinite, Universe. That is more likely to be the truth but so far not a scientically proven truth with experimental data.
Most Souls as they exist today are not as they were at the beginning of the Big Bang. Let us say that at the beginning of our observable Universe, there was the Primeval Atom or Big Bang. Souls have merged and evolved ever since this beginning. When the Primeval Atom first exploded, space, time and matter were formed and the Universe evolved as we observe it today.
At the early stage of this expanding Universe, every particle had a Guiding Soul. Souls have an important intrinsic quality, they can merge together, and a group of Souls can become one Soul, a brighter one, different. This is what Souls do best: merging together. Souls can evolve as well. A Soul can affect matter to some extent so as to guide in small ways the exploding Primeval Atom and evolution towards the formation of Life in the Universe, Life being the final goal, at least a step forward towards something greater and still unknown at this time.
Souls do their work at all times and everywhere over the entire Universe. This is especially real during the formation of stars. A star is formed when a large cloud of dust particles collapses on itself by gravitational forces and other physical phenomena. Then a star, and planets with their moons, if any, are formed. After being born a star system has a life time of its own. For instance, our Sun is believed to be about six billion years old, a young star really! Souls continue to do their work at all times during the formation of a new star system. It is very likely that there are billions of star systems with planets in our observable Universe. Souls would have guided matter to create such systems. The ultimate goal is the formation of Life on a planet.
Let us assume here that the beginning of our observable Universe was a Big Bang. The conditions for the formation of Life on Earth appeared gradually over the past billion years. Souls were guiding the formation and the evolution of Life in small ways.
At the early stage, when the Earth was formed, and a while later, all the conditions for the formation of Life were present, and Life was gradually formed. Life was made of matter and every particle of that matter had a Soul that merged with all the others. That first spark of Life had a unique and independent Soul. Throughout the different evolutionary stages of Life on Earth, Souls have guided the step-by-step evolution of Life on Earth and kept merging.

Souls have guided in small ways the step-by-step formation and evolution of Life on Earth. |

They guided the evolutionary process in small ways.
Many groupings of Souls became more complex than others as they were much brighter beings than other groupings. One unique and most wonderful grouping was the grouping that made the Human Soul. Through their Souls human beings became conscious of other Souls in many different ways. Religions of all kinds started to spread on Earth over the past thousands of years. Different groupings of Souls have affected human beings in different ways and Peoples today have different religious beliefs.
The relationship with my Soul has lead me to the discovery of the Soul of Humanity, a wonderful loving Being made of all the Souls of Humanity, the Souls of all Life forms on Earth and the Soul of Earth itself. Now we all see the place the Earth has in the Universe, and that it also has a Soul. Obviously the Soul of the Earth is different than the Soul of a person, and the Soul of each person is different than that of another person.
Life is the most precious part of the Universe. Nothing makes any real sense without Life being present. Life is the ultimate goal, reason, of evolution. Life is the building block through which Souls can have a meaningful relationship with others. Life allows Souls to be conscious of other Souls in as many different ways as possible. By observing the Universe with all its galaxies, we are also observing and studying SoulLife, the Soul of all Life of the Universe.
There is more to the Universe we observe today, that is, there is more to SoulLife, much more. SoulLife is self-existent, eternal and infinite in space and time.
SoulLife wants:
(which is something common in Nature between Life forms in an ecosystem) with Souls, and now with the Soul of Humanity. We work together for both our survival and well-being. Cooperation and symbiosis between Life forms (especially human beings) on Earth
and between Life forms and their Souls and the Soul of Humanity have become a necessity of Life. We help one another, joint forces, and accomplish together what we cannot accomplish separately. Several billion years ago this symbiosis between matter and Souls resulted in the making of complex biochemical systems. Symbiosis has worked throughout the evolution of Life on Earth. Symbiotical relationships are still active today and helping humanity through very difficult times. 
Over the past thousands of years, our species has gone through all sorts of loops and dead ends but we are who we are today: hopeful, imaginative, creative, demanding, powerful, diversified, changing, evolving, intelligent, resourceful, and a kilometre length of skills, qualifications and strengths. We have what it takes to manage Earth wisely and keep it healthy.
The Soul of Humanity is helping to bring about the event of Peace in the world. Knowing that Earth is a spiritual entity as well as a physical entity in space and time in the Universe, we begin to have a better relationship with Earth and with all its living inhabitants. Earth is our most precious and the one and only place we can live for now. Earth is our home. This way Earth management will become a spiritual and a natural process whereby each person is responsible and accountable for its management the best they can. Peace in the world and Earth management have for too long been in the hands of and affected by government and business leaders, in the hands of a few people on the planet, as opposed to being in the hands of all of us (over 7 billion people on Earth) working together to keep our planet healthy. We cannot allow ourselves to let governments and other organizations take away our responsibility for managing Earth. It would be like giving the key of our planet to people who would be looking after their own self-interests and not bother with what is truly important. We are the keepers of the Earth, and we want to govern and manage sustainably our planet.
We have the responsibility of managing Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of Life within Global Civilization. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as oppose to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
Life exists on millions of other planets in the Universe, and our species got to be who we are today through the evolutionary process. Other Life forms in the Universe may have evolved to be at least as advanced as our species. Their Souls may even be more complicated than ours. They may have merged a trillion times more than our Souls. They may have evolved as well.
The higher purpose of humanity is to propagate Life throughout the Universe. Humanity will evolve spiritually to fulfill SoulLife's Plan.
Is humanity as we know it today on Earth our final destination?
It may have been necessary for our species to reach today's population of over 7 billions in order to leap to our next stage of evolution that will bring us closer to SoulLife and propel humanity to fulfill its destiny. But then there may have been other ways for Life to reach this final goal.
Global Civilization has extended the idea of sustainability to be a moral and ethical state
as well as an economic and environmental state. We invite everyone and every organization to participate openly without fear. Paticipate in the process of the Global Dialogue 
. Again today we ask everyone throughout the World to scrutinize all of their values. No exception!
You are asked to create new thoughts that will sustain Earth, humanity and all Life.
The Global Dialogue process will help humanity to think clearly and globally. Your research papers, brainstorming exercises, Vision statements, discussions, comments and recommendations will be well appreciated and reviewed. They will give us a sense of direction and purpose. The end product will also include universal values to connect us together as we all belong to Global Civilization.

SoulLife wants:a) for everyone to manage Earth responsibly, andHumanity has reached a point in its evolution where it knows its survival is being challenged. Now that human Souls have merged and formed the Soul of Humanity, we will find it easier to fight for our own survival. The Soul of Humanity does not make decisions for us but can help us understand and guide us on the way. In the past, human beings have had some kind of symbiotical relationships
b) to reach the stars and spread Life throughout the Universe and thus help other Souls to evolve the best possible ways.

Global Civilization claims that everyone on Earth should be able to live in peace. This peace mouvement is about courage. Not the courage it takes to go into battle but the courage
to organize resistance to war when a bloody taste for it inflames the world, and the threat of prison in a nation where the global rights and freedom of expression have diminished significantly. It is
about the courage to say NO to the war industry. It is an industry that destroys Life on Earth, corrupts society, and violates morality.
The war industry is the "mother of all evils" of our world. It must be shelved. War products and equipment from all nations must be decommissioned.
Join the Peace Movement of Global Civilization .
Military intervention in the affairs of other nations is wrong. There are other ways, there are peaceful ways, ways that are not based on profit-making and the gain of power for itself.

* resolve problems, concerns and issues peacefully;
* reinstate the respect for Earth;
* work with humanity to keep Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things;
* bring forth a sustainable global society embracing universal values related to global rights, economic and social justice, respect of nature, peace, responsibility to one another; and
* help to protect Life and manage planet Earth.

The evil is the war industry. |

Historically, the careless technology and policies of industrialized nations have caused the most damage to the environment. Emissions from factories and vehicles have caused ozone depletion, acid rain, climate change, global warming, and many other critical global problems.
Leaders of the wealthier nations must be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and to help pay the financial burden for environmental protection of the developing nations. Global Civilization must help wealthy and developing nations reach a better understanding of each
other's needs. All aspects are interrelated: peace, global rights and the environment. In reality, all concerns are interrelated. As soon as the environment is destroyed beyond repair, human suffering is next. Ecology has no boundaries. Global life-support systems are planetary problems we all have to manage together. All nations suffer the effects of
air pollution, global warming, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, acid rain, ozone depletion, silting of streams, and countless of other
environmental problems. This was the reason for proposing to Global Civilization the Scale of Global Rights as a shorth term solution to assure the survival of Life on Earth. 
Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of Global Civilization rather than the traditional context of a world of separate states. Global Civilization offers both a short term solution and a long term solution to the people of all nations to assure the survival of life on Earth. Both solutions require the acceptance of the Scale of Global Rights as our guide for survival. What would be preferable is that all nations unite amongst themselves to form a more meaningful union of nine or more Global Governments. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects of community. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region. The Federation of Global Governments would be the place of meeting between Global Governments.
We, citizens of Global Civilization, hereby resolve to establish a federation of all nations, and to govern in accordance with Global Parliament Constitution. Global Parliament shall be composed of four (4) bodies, designated as follows:
1. the House of Elected Representatives,
2. the Federation of Global Governments,
3. the House of Advisers, and the
4. Executive Council
We, citizens of the Global Community of North America, hereby resolve to establish the Global Government of North America (GGNA) to govern in accordance with the Global Constitution. Member states of the GGNA are Mexico, the United States of America, Canada, the North Pole Region which also includes Greenland and Iceland. The GGNA ensures state governments that it will obey the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs. Essential services to the people of each member nation are now the most important global rights and are protected by the Global Protection Agency (GPA) of each member nation. And that is how we can protect the global life-support systems, thus largely improving the quality of life of the next generations. We are also inviting the United Kingdom to become a member of the GGNA. The United Kingdom is leaving the EU and is available for a more meaningful relationship with the GGNA.
Global Civilization wants to provide a forum where international conflicts could be argued and resolved peacefully. Because of hatred and mistrust, disputing parties always find it difficult to express constructive ideas or proposals. A face-to-face meeting may not even be possible. Global Civilization offers to be a trusted third party that would carry ideas back and forth, put forward new proposals until both sides agree. When both parties feel they have gained more than they have lost from the process, the outcome is a win-win settlement for peace.
The United Nations are to restructure their organization or start rebuilding it from scratch. The United Nations must reflect the needs and aspirations of Global Civilization : all Peoples together, Global Economic Cooperation, Global Governance, Earth Governance, and Earth Environmental Governance.
Global Civilization believes all citizens have the right to share the wealth in the world. The free trade agreement between nations must protect and improve social and environmental
rights, not just the economy. A sustainable development in the world would mean finding a sound balance among the interactions designed to create a healthy economic growth, preserve environmental quality, make a wise use of our resources, and enhance social benefits. Free trade cannot proceed at the expense of the environment, labour rights, global rights and the sovereignty of a nation. Free trade leads to an
increase in poverty by giving investor rights priority over government decision-making. Employers will be looking for more
concessions from workers. Small businesses will find it more difficult to grow and compete against large corporations.
Free trade entrenches corporate power at the expense of democratically elected officials from local communities, municipal governments, provincial governments, national governments and states. It is a form of "world anti-government" (such as the European Union block) as citizens lose the ability to act in their best interests and find sound solutions to their own problems. As an example of a free trade arrangement gone bad is the United Kingdom Brexit. Shortly after the referendum on United Kingdom Brexit, the German parliament published an analysis on the consequences of a Brexit on the EU and specifically on the economic and political situation of Germany. According to this, Britain is, after the United States and France, the third most important export market for German products. In total Germany exports goods and services to Britain worth about €120 billion annually, which is about 8% of German exports, with Germany achieving a trade surplus with Britain worth €36.3 billion (2014). Should there be a "hard Brexit", exports would be subject to WTO customs and tariffs. The trade weighted average tariff is 2.4%, but the tariff on automobiles, for instance, is 9.7%, so trade in automobiles would be particularly affected; this would also affect German automobile manufacturers with production plants in the United Kingdom. In total, 750,000 jobs in Germany depend upon export to Britain, while on the British side about three million jobs depend on export to the EU.
Citizens become disconnected with the decision-making process. Their lives are then driven by the desire of making profits. Fear is used to force people to behave with the dollar sign as their god. In such scenario, democratic principles lose meaning and no longer prevail. All that we have worked for over the past decades to build sustainable communities is gone with free trade. People were never asked to discuss and were never invited in its development. The principles of a sustainable development are let go and replaced by the desire of the world business leaders to make larger profits.
Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to become completely responsible for their products from beginning to end. At the end, the product becomes a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. You manufacture, produce, farm or create a product, you become responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). People in our society often argue that their manufacturing products and the trading principles or rules that regulate their actions are all legal! But what about ethical values and moral principles?!
Leaders of the wealthier nations must be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and to help pay the financial burden for environmental protection of the developing nations. Global Civilization must help wealthy and developing nations reach a better understanding of each
other's needs. All aspects are interrelated: peace, global rights and the environment. In reality, all concerns are interrelated.

As an example of a free trade arrangement gone bad is the United Kingdom Brexit. Shortly after the referendum on United Kingdom Brexit, the German parliament published an analysis on the consequences of a Brexit on the EU and specifically on the economic and political situation of Germany. According to this, Britain is, after the United States and France, the third most important export market for German products. In total Germany exports goods and services to Britain worth about €120 billion annually, which is about 8% of German exports, with Germany achieving a trade surplus with Britain worth €36.3 billion (2014). Should there be a "hard Brexit", exports would be subject to WTO customs and tariffs. The trade weighted average tariff is 2.4%, but the tariff on automobiles, for instance, is 9.7%, so trade in automobiles would be particularly affected; this would also affect German automobile manufacturers with production plants in the United Kingdom. In total, 750,000 jobs in Germany depend upon export to Britain, while on the British side about three million jobs depend on export to the EU.
Citizens become disconnected with the decision-making process. Their lives are then driven by the desire of making profits. Fear is used to force people to behave with the dollar sign as their god. In such scenario, democratic principles lose meaning and no longer prevail. All that we have worked for over the past decades to build sustainable communities is gone with free trade. People were never asked to discuss and were never invited in its development. The principles of a sustainable development are let go and replaced by the desire of the world business leaders to make larger profits.
Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to become completely responsible for their products from beginning to end. At the end, the product becomes a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. You manufacture, produce, farm or create a product, you become responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). People in our society often argue that their manufacturing products and the trading principles or rules that regulate their actions are all legal! But what about ethical values and moral principles?!
