Change as an Idea

Change is the one thing that is constant in life. Life is always changing and those that don't change are lost in the depths of time. Humans may be one of the most adaptable to change yet, which is why they have taken over the earth as the dominant species. This excludes the simplest of organisms and viruses which will almost always survive because of their simplicity and the relatively nonexistent need of recourses, compared to humans of course.
In the beginning, life was not that accepting of change. Billions of generations would pass and the first lifeforms just didn't like the idea of change. Then as the available resources decreased change was accepted as the best way to survive. Then, just before the first great extinction, life would change almost constantly. There were more species of animal, plant, bacteria than ever before. Then 95% of that population was gone in the first and greatest of many great extinctions. Life has since been gradually finding the best ratios between change and no change. It had thought it had found it when the it grew to the dinosaurs but, after a few million years, they too were wiped out. This was life new test. Before, brute strength and size were enough to get everything you needed. But in a new world crisis and mass extinction of 70% of the world's population proved that wrong. Now life is seeing if brains is the way to go. Thus Humans have arisen and life is probably worried. Change, the great double edged sword of fate, is happening, not every million generations, not every hundred generations, but almost every generation of human life there have been great amounts of change. Life was worried that the humans could not handle the responsibility of applied chemistry, physics and mathematics, even though each of these things had always existed. But now they were being combined in ways never before tried. Life realized that it was losing control over its creation. One of its own creations was daubing in the art of creation. A realm that was only ever explored by life before.
