In listening to a number of narratives and explanations of evolution, I think we are caught in a Darwinian trap. An implicit assumption in evolutionary theory is that "success" equates to propagation through time. Has an organism figured out how to continue to exist? This makes longevity / time the highest value. However, from the perspective of the infinite / reality / multiple universes / ...., it is the creation and experience of diverse, unique (?) experiences that is perhaps a higher value since that is what infinity continues to do to the best of our current knowledge. Each moment of experience has a "value" to infinity that is "immeasurable". Otherwise, why would it have been created? All our narratives of what is important are part of the infinite experience set of infinity. We make stories about valuing this over that, often forgetting that creation has given existence to all that exists. And perhaps the value of existence is higher than our notions of longevity or having more time or other artifacts of creation.
