what causes the changes you refer to as evolution, not to the same specimen but from one to the next ?
what is the process, evolution you are talking about - if it is not Spiritual ?

I don't believe from the evidence I've seen that there are wholesale leaps from one species to another totally different being if that is what you are suggesting. All of the change in evolution has come in spurts where a "spurt" might take more than a million years from what I can understand. I'm not an expert in DNA changes so you would probably be better served asking an expert in the field.
The scientists are clearly on the track of filling in the missing links the religists are so fond of bringing up. To me it is sort of a puzzle that once a few of the places on the board are filled in one can easily guess where the puzzle is going. The religists seem to be fighting the evidence as it is discovered tooth and nail. I have no such agenda. Sure as a curious human being with enough education to basically follow many of the directions scientists are following I try to keep up as I would like to see a more complete filling in of the evolutionary puzzle like most Americans.
We are not a nation of frightened goat herders. We lead the world in education and discovery. I welcome the results as they appear.

the point being made is change does not occur to a single specimen over time but the change is being transferred from one (unaffected) specimen to a new altered specimen with a predetermined outcome with results - whether radical or simple the change takes place.
anotherwards, there is a Spiritual overlap between generations that allows for "evolution" to occur.

A spiritual overlap? Ya....UUUUuuuuuu Right.

in DNA changes ...
what then without DNA expertise as being necessary, is your explanation for the changes that occur allowing for physical evolution to take place if not from a Spiritual origin - the recognition for improvement being transferred to a new being.
and also speciation occurring the same as metamorphosis from a superimposed state to a new beginning, the essence of a Spiritual event.

You are losing me with this "spiritual" component.
Flying fish of which there are several varieties can eject themselves from water and extend their fins to glide considerable distances and elevation on the air above the water. Did they rely on some "spiritual" component to achieve this ability? I believe the fear of being eaten had more to do with it and the ones that couldn't fly very far got eaten and those that flew far enough to evade the predators survived. What other reason to "learn to fly"? Sight seeing? Spiritual development?
Some fish have learned to crawl out of water and developed an ability to go from one drying up puddle to a larger one with less likely of a chance of drying up. OR are these fish just sight seeing? Working on their spiritual development?
IMHO human beings have developed a very complex brain. We have imagination. We rapidly invent solutions to problems way past the desperate need of the moment. We observe. We plan. We can do this awake or in dreams as we sleep.
I used to believe I could enter a walking dream state and follow colors in my dream state to decide if my directions taken in this dream state were true or false or evil. I used this perceived ability to help other people in distress or so I thought. One night I was driving down a Seattle road in an area known for criminal activity and saw a young woman hiding behind a dumpster. She was only wearing a night gown. Anyway to make the story short, I stopped, got out of my car, convinced her I would help her, "thought" I was looking into her mind and followed a path, with the colors, several miles looking through her eyes at the scenery she was familiar with. Oh by the way she was totally incoherent. Nothing coming out of her mouth made any sense at all. She just kept babbling gibberish. If you know Seattle, I took her from the Rainier Valley to West Seattle probably making a hundred or more turns. When I was sure I was at the house "with the proper safe colors in my dream state I knocked on the door. An older woman, I was 22 or 23 at the time answered the door. I pointed to the young woman in my car and asked her if she knew that young woman. She started sobbing with a "yes". Turned out the young woman was completely mentally broken after her fiance had blown her off. She was a basket case. Couldn't talk. Scrambled brain. At the time I convinced myself I had "spiritually" saved the young woman from the criminal element in the Rainier Valley. Nonsense. I don't know how I "read her mind" and found her mother's house in that rainy windy Seattle night. Her mom was convinced it was a miracle. Nonsense.
I have had many dozens of situations come up that a vivid imagination could attribute to "spirituality". Again...NONSENSE.
We have developed minds that can search in unusual directions to solve problems. I am not nor never was the "psychic lifeguard" I though I was. All these adventures proved was that we have interesting minds that can explore possibilities not yet experienced. There is no "magic". There is no god. Our brains are Ferrari's while the rest of the animal kingdom has yet to understand how to ride a goat or burro.
Chimps can take a stick and pick away at a hole in a log and pull out a grub. We have landed a man on the moon. No magic..no spirituality.
