I'm sorry Orgg, but I don't care what the "coined" term is. "Devolution" suggests, like "evolution," that man necessarily moves downwards, whereas "unbecoming" does not suggest a necessity, since it does not directly oppose the term “evolution.” Additionally, I believe we have a choice, as always, to elevate – it is not a scientific law that we necessarily “devolve,” (see, “unbecome,” in this case, is better). There is a duality, in fact, that we do evolve physically, but Darwin failed to inquire of how or even if the mind evolves as well. It seems that when the body evolves, the mind has a tendency, like a temptation, to unbecome, since the body is satisfied, thinking becomes superficial, and thus man slides into unbecoming.
