Dear Rob,

"If the evolutionary process is the driving force for quality and
we (consciousness) are the result of this process, don't we
represent Quality itself. And if Quality is analogous to God.
Does that mean that We are God?"

"The explanation of life as a 'migration of static patterns
toward Dynamic Quality' not only fitted the known facts of
evolution, it allowed new ways of interpreting them."
I'd say we (humans) are part of static patterns of value (an
ecological system, a species) that are still migrating toward
Dynamic Quality. (The patterns are still changing/dynamic, aren't
they...?) We REPRESENT God, yes, (or at least we should try
to...). That reminds me of the biblical image of "man being
created in the image of God". We ARE not God. We, or rather the
patterns we are part of, are static latches for only a bit of the
full Dynamic Quality.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
