The best way to predict the future is to create it. No man crosses the same river twice, for both the man has changed and the river has changed. Natural and human experience demonstrate that change is constant. In the mineral realm, mountain ranges and even continents have been successively generated and destroyed, and within them rocks have been generated and destroyed, and within those rocks minerals have been generated and destroyed. In the animal and plant worlds, the fossil record shows that life forms have changed with extinction and speciation, so that virtually no form of life has lasted long.
History is the record of change at the societal scale, and it records no era without change.
In a single human life, change is biologically inevitable. The illusion of the eternal exists only for those whose time span of observation is too short to see change in what they observe. The only question is whether there are qualitative or quantitative changes in change. In the mineral realm, cycling of crust has probably slowed and rates of orogeny seemingly fluctuate, so that rates of change vary. However, a qualitative change in change may not have happened since the Hadean or Archean change from a meteoritic to tectonic system.
