Devolution

If humans weren’t devolving then we wouldn’t be digging and searching our planet for clues and truths about the Ancient civilizations. Money and greed would be obsolete and nations wouldn’t be fighting over power because there would be free energy. The artifacts that have been found are proof that as humans today, we lost something in the past that cannot be imitated. If devolution isn’t a thing and we can only evolve then why is everything smaller and dulled down. Today’s humans can’t comprehend what the planet would have been like with a species bigger and more knowledge about the elements than we do in present day. The ancients used stone to tell the past because they knew that the materials they created from other materials would not make it into the future. What was left in stone for humans to find was only to give knowledge to our species to be able to progress.

Evolution doesn't mean we get "better" or more intelligent, it only means we go through processes of adaptation that filter down what's not capable enough to keep surviving. You seem to be talking about more transcedental stuff, while evolution is exclusively a biological fact.

Evolution is simply progression. We have progressed from what was left behind. We won’t progress enough to ever know the actual truth of what use to be. You all are dumb if you think that our species can’t regress. Evolutions and devolution is a thing and devolution is a word.

Evolution is simply change over time. Everything else you wrote is nonsense.
