The two major differences between this book and all other books on the topics of cosmic evolution, biological evolution, and consciousness evolution are as follows: 1) this book attributes all forms of evolution to the God of the Holy Bible, the one true and only real Creator-God; and 2) this book attributes all change resulting in astronomical and biological diversity to the Creator-God's Plan of Salvation for immortals who fell from the spiritually, or metaphysically, observable universe to become mortals in the physically observable universe.Throughout recorded history, there have been many wonderful thinkers who have authored truly remarkable ideas and sophisticated works on the various topics of evolution, but, unless those authors attribute all cosmic, biological, and consciousness changes to the Lord God Almighty in the sacrificial atonement of His only-begotten Son, Christ Jesus, they bring no real praise and honor to the Creator-God or to the Savior of the world. Without the shed blood of Christ Jesus metaphysically attached to our spoken and written ideas, thoughts, concepts, and constructs, they simply pass through the sieve of truth into a vacuum of nothingness. The author of Intelligent Evolution is blessed to have an opportunity through this written work to attribute all physical and spiritual glory - including all order, non-randomness, and diversity in both the physically observable universe and the spiritually observable universe - to the Lord God Almighty.This literary effort - as well as all other written works referenced in it - are not meant to replace or supersede the Holy Bible. First and foremost, the Holy Bible should be read, reread, and studied until students sufficiently comprehend its message for themselves. And, concerning the Old and New Testaments (i.e., Old and New Covenants) of the Holy Bible, the present author subscribes to St. Augustine's notion that the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. Therefore, a thorough study of both Testaments is required to get to know the Mind, the Intent, and the Will of our Creator-God.
