Dosakkhayo’s description is not quite right.
- I suggest carefully reading the post “Buddhism and Evolution – Aggañña Sutta (DN 27).”
- I just revised it to address some of those points and made some revisions, too.
For example, it is incorrect to say the following. “2. Therefore, there is always ‘pre-existing matter.’”
- All dense matter will be destroyed when the Solar system and Earth are destroyed. The re-formation of the Solar system occurs over many billions of years. That has origins in suddhāṭṭhaka formation by an uncountable number of Brahmas in the Ābhassara Brahma realm over billions of years.
Please feel free to ask questions. It is impossible to cover this complex subject in a single post.
