Thus there is a kind of appeal to humanity today from out of the impulses of our time to realise that a materialistic astronomy knowing nothing of how at a definite point of time the Event of Golgotha took shape, should no longer exist. Every astronomy which includes the Moon in the structure of the Universe just the same as the Sun and Earth, instead of allowing the two streams to run in with one another, but still as separate streams—every such astronomy is no Christian astronomy but a heathen astronomy. Therefore every theory of evolution which describes the Universe homogeneously must from the Christian stand-point be rejected. If you follow my book, *Occult Science*, you will see how, in the description of the Saturn and Sun periods, the stream divides into two, which then intermingle and work together. Here we have two streams. In the descriptions usually given, however, the ideas are in accordance with the continuation of the pagan development. And you will find this true down to the very details. You know that Darwinian theorists describing the evolution of the organic form, would say: First there were simple organic forms, then more complicated forms, then more and more complicated forms, and so forth, up to Man. But this is not so. If we take Man as three-membered, his head alone is the development from the lower animal form. What is added to it has arisen later. Thus we cannot say that in our vertebral column we have something which transforms itself into head, we must say: Our head certainly arose from earlier structures which were spine-like; but the *present* spine has nothing to do with that development, it is a later appendage. What is now our head-organisation has arisen from a differently formed spine.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Thirteen","site_heading":"Humanity's Cosmic Organization and the Sun-Spirit Mystery","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Es ist also gewissermaßen heute eine Art Aufforderung aus unseren Zeitimpulsen heraus an die Menschheit, einzusehen, daß nicht weiter eine Astronomie materialistischer Art existieren darf, die nichts weiß davon, daß in einem bestimmten Zeitpunkte das Ereignis von Golgatha sich bildet. Aber jede Astronomie, welche einschließt in die Weltstruktur den Mond ebenso wie die Sonne und die Erde, statt die beiden in ihren Strömungen ineinanderlaufen zu lassen, so aber, daß sie gesonderte Strömungen sind, jede solche Astronomie ist nichts anderes als eine heidnische Astronomie, keine christliche Astronomie. Daher muß vom christlichen Standpunkte aus jede Evolutionslehre abgelehnt werden, die nur gewissermaßen einheitlich die Welt schildert. Verfolgen Sie meine «Geheimwissenschaft», so werden Sie sehen, wie, indem ich schildere Saturnzeit, Sonnenzeit, die Strömung sich teilt in zwei Strömungen, die dann ineinanderwirken. Da haben Sie die beiden Strömungen. Wenn man aber so schildert, wie gemeiniglich geschildert wird, dann schildert man mit den Begriffen, die durchaus im Sinne der heidnischen Fortentwickelung sind. Das geht bis in die Einzelheiten hinein. Denken Sie nur, wenn der heutige Evolutionstheoretiker so richtig darwinistischer Färbung schildert die Entwickelung der organischen Form, da sagt er: Erst waren einfache organische Formen, dann kamen kompliziertere, dann wiederum kompliziertere und so weiter bis herauf zum Menschen (Tafel 25, oben). — So ist es nicht, sondern, wenn Sie den Menschen nehmen, dreigliedern, so ist nur sein Haupt die Ausbildung der niederen Tierformen (Zeichnung, rechts). Was der Mensch als Haupt hat, das ist die Ausbildung der niederen Tierformen. Dasjenige, was an das Haupt angegliedert ist, das ist später entstanden. So daß wir nicht sagen dürfen, in unserem Rückenmark haben wir etwas, was sich zum Kopfe umbildet, sondern wir müssen sagen: Unser Haupt, unser Kopf ist ja gewiß aus früheren Gebilden entstanden, die Rückgrat-ähnlich waren; aber das heutige Rückgrat hat nichts zu tun mit dieser Entwickelung, sondern ist ein späterer Ansatz; und von einem anders geformten Rückgrat stammt dasjenige, was heute Kopforganisation ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":340,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-05-09/p013"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-05-09/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":340,"en_words":323,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3560,"original_word_count":3870,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA201/English/RSP1972/19200509p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
