Hinduism does not subscribe to the concept of evollution.
The whole universe , according to Hindu religion, is under the control
of the Trinity- Brahma, the creator, Vishnu life force/controller and
Shiva the destroyer.
Selvan's analogy/ theory seems very interesting though- a truly
innovative approach.
