As Above So Below
One would be life made itself and by random mutations we are here.You live and die and thats it.
The other is spiritual that would imply that there is a creator of life,what ever ones idea of that creator might be.
Dont see how one can coexist with the other.
IMO its not so cut and neatly packed, both reincarnation and evolution can exist, regardless whether some creator was involved or not...Evolution is not just some random convergences or random pot luck, there are many aspects of evolution that can be considered and discussed, which itself could be another thread of its own, but for the sake of this discussion consider that possibly life was created TO evolve...Not by random mutations but by intend, a means to an end so to speak...Spirituality does not imply a creator, there is other life beyond the physical that could have also be created to evolve or evolves of its own, but also spirituality can also have been created to evolve...Many learned men throughout history up to the present time have evolved through their own spiritual work and development, by conscious intent...Evolution and reincarnation are loaded words but have been stripped of their many implications in modern times...
