Kelly's future vision takes its final form when he treats on the mechanism he believes will determine the development of both natural and artificial systems in the future: evolution. Darwin has provided us with the key to the concept of the development of life forms out of other life forms. Evolution also provides an explanation for the creation of life from dead matter. Kelly emphasises repeatedly that this is a step-by-step process of construction from the bottom up. Evolution is a parallel process. Unlike many traditional creation myths, there is no master plan that is carried out during the course of evolution, no design, no top--down structure.
