Evolution

"Back in the day, some members of our scientific community embarked on a journey to test out this 'theory of evolution.' When they returned, they joked about it, and stated that they had wasted their time searching for thin air. We gave the theory considerable thought, we did. But ever since, evolution has been a disproven science."

The theory of evolution is a scientific attempt to explain change from single-cell organisms to intelligent beings. As the Xai and many other species see it, the theory of evolution is a widely discredited science, viewed by and large as a cheap excuse to remove an intelligent creator from the development of sapient beings such as themselves by those deemed either too far removed from religion, or too much of a coward to acknowledge the existence of a high power. Unlike with humans who use evolution as a way to explain their existence, the Xai have since remove any references of evolution from their growth as intelligent species.

Unlike with the human species, evolution is not a widely accepted and controversial subject, and typically ignored except when brought up by a member of a species not of the Xai. As a result of this ignorance, many species unaware of the Xai's long disregard for evolution, have come up with many attempts to explain the reason why the Xai exist as they are. However, like all scientists, they have been unable to explain why the Xai as well as all species, possess a life force, nor have they been able to explain the Xai's ability to return from life as they were before their death.
