I like to look at evolution with a Darwinistic eye and define it as biological advancement, unless specified otherwise. Sorry for the confusement. I also would like to point out that religion is a “static” concept, and hardly ever changes, unless you were to change the branch of religion you worship. I’d also like to address the misconception that religion makes you a better person. The 10 Commandments, the biggest rules in the Bible, are redundant and the first four commandments have nothing to do with moral guidelines at all, and these are the most important. That said, what I’m trying to say is that these shifts in society are very hard to track, and always changing. One cannot be sure of the outcome of a major social change until it has already happened. Social shifts are a form of evolution. Humans make society, we control this evolution. Humans crave knowledge and we feel compelled towards the truth, even if we don’t want to know it. This is the true nature of humanity, and yes. It is evolution. But did you not say we have advanced in our mental capabilities? Becoming better that what we were, say, 2000 years ago? That is really the only thing I beg to differ on. I believe the only thing we’ve gotten is taller.

What do you define as evolution? Because I use the english language in which evolution means “A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form”. Social shifts are a form of social evolution. However obviously the need to explain things is a form of psychological evolution otherwise we would have maintained the same situation and never progressed socially or scientifically. The need to better ourself’s is made clear by the concept of religion or any other non-static concepts.

Maybe there has been no evolution at all. Maybe it’s just more knowledge and scientific advancements that make this rationalization possible. Who’s to say we “didn’t have the potential” to do what we do today, back then. You make the argument that our language has become more advanced, but some languages have hardly been altered at all. English needed to develop, so it did. Humans needed an answer, so they came up with one. 2000 years ago that was religion. We are humans though and are not satisfied with just a omnipotent God, so we advanced. We questioned. We’ve done this for centuries. What I think you mistake as a evolution, is a shift in society.
