Ultimately, Joe Biondo's book, Merge Lost Evolutionary Files, ends up being a Theosophical rant on The Evolution of Consciousness, while having very little to do with Biological Darwinian Evolution, itself. Rather, it echoes the teachings of Theosophist and occultist, Alice Bailey, in its similarity with her occult work, The Evolution of Consciousness, as well the teachings of Theosophists, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Annie Besant. Such occult Theosophists talked about ancient Root Races, relentlessly, and Evolution was their continual mantra. In Theosophy, Root Races are stages in human evolution, and are often mentioned in the esoteric Cosmology of Theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, as described in her book, The Secret Doctrine (1888). The Fourth Root Race, according to Theosophy, arose approximately 4,500,000 years ago in Africa, and all the Theosophists imply the way in which early Mankind arose to a Protean state of self-evolution through The Evolution of Consciousness as both mutable and adaptable.
It matters not how poetic and redundant Joe Biondo has become in his wild and delusional evolutionary rhetoric. All of it still merely amounts to a repackaging of 18th century Freudian Atheism. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is the father of Psychoanalytic Theory who approached religious belief from the assumption of Philosophical Naturalism, where his Methodological Naturalism Bias precluded him from understanding that a Transcendent God is necessary for existence.
Freud claimed that the gods are a collective representation of human individual experiences as children. As children, people come to know the feelings of fear and dependence, and later they project this out of the child-parent relationship into the wider universe. The result is the imagination of large scale cosmic parents who care about them. This belief, Freud maintained, eventually caused the emergence of Monotheism (belief in one God or a single Heavenly Father).
In this case, human beings feel helpless in a hostile world where they do not get what they want. Because of this, human beings want there to be a Heavenly Father and this causes them to believe in such a being who will protect and sustain them. Freud claimed that as humanity became less superstitious through advancements in human knowledge, people learned to restrict the role of the gods and ultimately decided that they only needed one of them (Monotheism). Freud referred to this formation of belief in God as wish fulfillment, meaning that one ends up believing in something because he or she strongly wants it to be true.
For Freud, the belief in God was an "illusion." It was an illusion not only because it was a product of wish fulfillment or wishful thinking, but also because God can be neither proven nor disproved, according to Freud. Freud did not say that an illusion is by definition false, but rather that it is unlikely to be true. He sketched the analogy of a middle class woman who desired to marry a prince, which although not an impossible fate is certainly an unlikely one.
Ultimately, both Freud and Biondo's evolutionary fairytale results in a nonsensical and repetitive rant which attempts to re-assert the ancient mystical Hermetic fairytale that Nature self-created itself, which violates every principle of modern science and its discovery of intelligent code at the foundation of every living mechanism in existence, and where code only comes from intelligent guidance.
However, Biondo has appended an additional spurious claim onto Freud's wish fulfillment model. He has claimed that the "wish" for a God is also intended to solve the riddle of mortality, in that Faith in God and Eternal Life is merely just another wish that Mankind has concocted in order to escape the inevitability of death, according to Biondo. And yet again, Nature does not create itself, and thereby, necessitates guidance from a Creator in order to accomplish this magnificent work, as the existence of DNA Code, The Fibonacci Series, The Golden Ratio, Mandelbrot Sets, and Fractals in Nature clearly demonstrate. Code never comes from random evolutionary mechanisms, as all legitimate natural scientists have pointed out.
Subsequently, both Freud and Biondo fail miserably with their evolutionary fantasy, as millions before them have, as well.
