The Sun Dance is an ancient first people's religious ceremony of North America that seems to have parallel features with Darwinian evolution theory. The sun as the motivating source of biological being was implicitly recognized. The motivating power of life is energy in either case. Life on Earth in the ecosphere lasts not long without it.
Federal law violating the separation of church and state, in 1871, banned the Kiowa celebration of the Mystery of existence in the annual Sun Dance. The Kiowa traditionally placed a Buffalo head on a spear in the high church form of liturgy-not only because they relied upon buffalo as the basic business commodity after migrating from Montana to the plains, but because it was simultaneously the most excellent remaining specimen of life (besides mankind) grown by the sun on Earth.
Darwinian evolution theory is also a solid-state ecosphere rationalism though without the implicit religious devotion to the fundamental mystery of being. The Sun Dance was a concatenated celebration of life and its essential mystery without going into technical scientific details-it was a rational religious response to the challenge of the mystery of existence.
Contemporary Darwinians have gone to far in separating the scientific phenomenalism from the fundamental mystery that anything exists. With knowledge of the mechanics of the processes of the ecosphere grounded within a given phenomena of solid state physics, the evolutionary process as a process of change appearing in the quantum field of the Universe has transcended and eclipsed to the best of its votaries ability the philosophical and religious interest in the entire phhenomenality of being in all its phases from Universes to unknowable realms of time and space and even beyond into the non-temporal speculations of quantum cosmology and the powers of God.
All of the processes or states of being that appear to human beings as life occur at the will of God who phenomenally sent His Son to provide a way to surpass temporal process in a infinite, relativistic field of mysterious quantum processes and history. The sun and its energy is a motivating power to create biochemical structures from the Earth that become life in the event-process of a Universe. The transcending possibilities of the quantum mechanics of the things beyond the solid state phase of the Universe are for human beings today as distant from comprehension as was the meaning of the Sun Dance and Darwinian evolution theory passing the torch in a manner of speaking, of knowledge in the same mid-19th century.
The Sun Dance of the Kiowa and other first American peoples had a regard for the Mystery of Existence that is lacking from the mechanistic atheism of Darwinists today. The celebration of life as meaningless superstition is a core belief of amoral moderns in politics and science. Evolution processes are simply a characteristic of a 13.7 billion year process that has deeper quantum reality in no way exclusive philosophically from being an issuance and expression of the will of God.
