No. Evolution is a continuum.
Yep, it's break through after break through after breakthrough ad infinitum. Time traves through the field of protomatter we know as Space and Dark Matter, propelling our information forward at the speed of light in an ever changing pattern of information excited neutrinos to be come what we perceive. Like a hologram of mass induced by information and energy.
Life and Light are the same thing in 2 different function specs. Photons are both light particle and wave, as Life is information particle and wave.
This is why SETI doesn't find anything, any intelligence that developes to full production gets introduced to the Life Spectrum as well. Until then though, we can't be allowed to pollute it. On the Life Spectrum Trans Universal instant transportation of your information across the universe becomes possible. These are the "Strings" of string theory, "worm holes" of life, conduit for for the thought and energy we produce and our feedback link from the singularity we access during Deep Sleep Dream state.
Once you learn to access it, it becomes simpler to build a bigger picture with time. It's very confusing to learn to see a place in time though. We are not nearly to that point of evolution yet, in fact, we aren't fully born yet, we are still in process, and may not make it. The problem with what you can see is not only figuring out when you are seeing it, but what fold of the multiverse you are looking at, and we are not the only ones making observations, although our existence doesn't notice the differences their observations make.
After a couple decades working at it though, you can start making sense, at least it makes it easier to track inside your own timeline. Once you release your own time line though, things become trickier. If you look down the tunnel from the future, you only see what the inertia of the future information is. Information like light has mass and inertia, it's our product we produce and export onto the Life Wide Web along with the energy we add in. Why do you suppose we came to technologically develope the Internet similar to the way a neural net is designed which in a visual model is fairly represented in the current 3D model of the Universe with excited amounts of protomatter along strings through space, feeding the information and energy back to the time/carrier wave back to the singularity.
What we are failing to comprehend even though God has tried to inform us through first preprogramming, then when we failed that, Religion; then when we failed that, Science, so we would understand that we are all, and everything we perceive, part of one larger organism that we are not fully developed to completely understand. We seem to be failing Science as well.
We have the bits and pieces, but we are still some software and firmware upgrades away. Hopefully hardware too, our spines are not meant to be upright, they haven't fully evolved to the posture.
Until we come to that realization and have faith that if we just follow the guidance of our conscience, our direct 24/7 link with God, we will reach our intended destiny, both individually, and if we do it cooperatively and compassionately, as a species. If we cooperate on a humanity wide scale to 80% efficiency, we get the only graduating ring that matters. We get people who continue to make the Heisenberg observations of our timeline. When that fails to happen, what we produced in this time line will cease to exist from your consciousness.
We are the first species that had full production unit capability in brain function, as sensory organs for the singularity. Bad energy and bad information flow directly through God from all sentient creatures. What sets intelligent creatures apart is the ability to produce bad energy and information. A lower animal only attacks out of fear (defense of young included) or hunger; only higher primates and cetatians will attack out of anger, only humans act out of greed.
