Is a Child’s Tendency to Organize Things Evidence of Evolution?

In my response to one author’s question: Why Do Many Toddler’s Have a Desire to Organize Things? I wrote:

According to some learning theorist, children organize things outwardly because that’s what their brain is doing with information inwardly. The brain is only carrying out instructions that occur on an even smaller level. The brain itself was created by this information. The protein bits and bytes found in DNA.

Do you think this information organization stops delivering instructions just because you experience life on the macro level? No – the information organization keeps going constantly in response to your environment.

And if you think about it (because thinking is organization), we recognize intelligence as the ability to organize chaos. Edison sorted through an infinite number of possible configurations for creating a light bulb and because he was finally able to identify the right combination we consider him intelligent. Einstein took an infinite number of scribbles and produced a formula that ‘made sense’, was usable or in other words – organized. The formulas were always there, but it took intelligent life to organize it into a coherent structure.

Nearly all humans are intelligent to some degree though, when you consider that out of an infinite number of actions (such as making sounds into speech or blocks into buildings) humans produce what appears organized.

Intelligence is the one force in the universe that appears to be organizing information, while everything else in the universe appears to be breaking down into disorganization (entropy.) At the same time, where does that desire to be lazy or destroy come from? I believe it comes from entropy (personified by some to be Satan) inherent in all nature. The battle for ‘good’ and ‘evil’ is really the battle between spiritually guided intelligence (guided from a higher power) and entropy (the tendency to destroy or in lesser forms laziness)

Yes indeed, it is my observation that a child’s desire to organize things is evidence of evolution. Not the dumb Darwinian excuse for evolution, but an intelligent force I refer to as evolution. The evolution I refer to is alive and has some higher power behind it.
