Let us conclude our examination of the evolution controversy with a remarkable thought, one that might also clarify the confusion in the conflict of science and religion. This issue can be pursued at great length in the study of the eonic effect.

But the point is simple: we have brought the idea of evolution into history, and the evidence for this is seen clearly in the pattern of the eonic effect, and the Axial Age.

We see that two world religions emerge in the Axial Age. We are left with the remarkable conclusion that the pattern we have discovered shows us therefore the way in which religions themselves are evidence, at the point of their emergence, of evolution!

This statement can be an introduction to the larger analysis in World History And The Eonic Effect.
