   when I say evolution I just mean change. things   
   change for a while, then allegedly, there is no   
   platform by which change can occur, as in what   
   is termed, the dissolution of the universe. all the   
   black holes at the center of the galaxies gulp it   
   all up or somesuch, and then at some point the   
   whole mess begins again and things evolve for   
   another go round.
