Toffler asserted that the "Universe gets better organized as it ages" is there evidence of this?

Question

Or is he basing his Systems Theory solely on Evolutionary theory?

I am studying Family Theory. I am looking for clarification or other thoughts on this particular theory.

Note that I did not say that I subscribe to evolution of man, I am questioning the basic assumption of this theory which is based on another theory.

Answer 1

no if anything the more we age the more mixed up thing are getting,no clear rules and everything goes, we seem to becoming less tolerant and more thin skinned,more disagreements then agreements that work

Answer 2

IF evolution were proven to be true, then perhaps his assertion would make sense. However both his assertion that the universe gets better organized with time and the evolutionary theory violate the physical law that things gets less organized with time.

Answer 3

I hadn't heard this quote before, however a contradictory point is via the law of thermodynamics which holds that the universe is becoming more disorganized over time. The term for this is "entropy".
He's not using evolutionary or systems theory.

Answer 4

I believe when he means "ages" he means "gaining wisdom"
Yes, it gets more organized, because wisdom involves knowing how to connect one notion to another. This necessarily involves organization.

However, if it is talking about the macrocosm per se, no...
the universe is already organized. It doesn't get better or worse, but it swims in the structure already built. There can be no proper justification that organization is improving as it ages, because it needs something to base that notion upon, and there would not be an absolute one.

Answer 5

i like it, it sounds nice
everything has a pattern maybe he is basing it on the evolutionary theory, still it could be very possible

Answer 6

Yes. The nuts of the world are all floating to the top.

Answer 7

I agree on the Creator Jesus side-planets in order and the evolution within kind--there are patterns set into motion-which is a miracle and only one can do miracles in creation.

the law of thermodynamics says everything goes from order to disorder. Not the other way around therefore even for it to maintain itself as the stars and our planet in the universe is a miracle. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and His word defines who He is." Psalm 19

I as a Jew who once rejected God and believed it is all an accident-came to Jesus -and see clearly now-molecules didnt come together (organize) by accident for the first amoeba once cell life-forming a cell wall, digestive tract, dna perfect for its own blueprint reproduction and become alive by accident. Let alone a billion perfect accidents later turn into a human being.

Following Jesus totally is total peace and appreciation for creation in the Universe

Jesus teaches to love your enemies and even gives the power to do it once we truely come to him personally.
grace came by Jesus-Jesus forgave the adultress and told her to go and sin no more. Jesus said repent of sins and be born again to see the kingdom of heaven.

in amazing grace of Jesus, that saved me and became my best friend as promised now to honor and respect, John 3 repented of sins asked Jesus into my heart to be my best friend (Revelation 3:19&20 as he asks us to do-knocking on our heart door to come in when we repent of sin-even one lie) and got born again, Now Jesus is my savior and best friend, working for me and many others too.

work for peace in the prince of peace "Unto us a child is born a son is given, and he will be Almighty God and the prince of peace. Isaiah 9:6

I pray for you, and thanks David-to see the universes plan in organization/creation and yours too.

Answer 8

if your on the devil's side this makes sense...he's the ruler of this world and his goal is a one world gov't with a one world religion!
