Truths evolve and change their form just as species evolve and change their form.
Truths become extinct just as species do.
Some truths of past ages are untrue only in the same sense that some species of past ages have become extinct.
Some truths of long ago bear little resemblance to the related truths of today only in the sense that some creatures of long ago bear little resemblance to their descendants.
Most of the truths we take for granted today will become extinct or transformed beyond immediate recognition.
The success or failure of a truth depends on the mental environment in which it is sown ; it depends on the relevant state of collective consciousness.
Seeing the cosmos in evolutionary terms makes a lot of sense - and may be a cure against adopting extreme opinions.
