The Evolution of Mankind pt2

    Recently,  I have re-read what I wrote not to long ago in a discussion named the same thing.  Honestly I don't know what I was thinking.  So here I am to make amends.

  Currently the definition of "Evolution"  as defined by Webster is as follows: a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations; also a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state. Now I have no argument toward the first definition,  the second however is a different story. 

Its strange to me how as a society we can look back on the past and brag about "how far along we have come". Sickening to hear is the ever growing belief that we are better now then we once were.  Now before you start getting all whoo haa over what I just said hear me out. I mean sure we have better transportation, entertainment (in some peoples minds), sports (again...nvm), we are supposed to be cleaner then even our most recent ancestors of 150-200 years. I dare you right now to look around,  feel the earth as it is today.  Theres so much pollution in the air, thats the smog and the noise hub our planet has become. The oceans are heating up and cooling off, how you ask, its just the way it goes certain spots are heating up, thus causing the ice caps to melt,  the melting ice drifts out and cools other parts of the oceans. Anyway heres what I am getting at,  its not that we are higher or more complex,  its that we use destruction to progress. 

Definition of "Evolution":  the simultaneous destruction and progression of one, or more, ecosystem(s). 

What do you think?  It fits better then the garbage listed before.
