That text could have also listed the great retrogression of viruses and bacteria to become parasitic. That was possible because Earth is a decimal planet on which biological processes are re-engineered in an attempt to improve life conditions. Widespread disease resulted from that "experiment" having gone wrong.

I think those factors make it so that we have a major absence of a planet-wide recognized authority. Who or what have become authorities in the interim? The Pope? TUB? The United Nations collective? Wikipedia? Google search engine?

It's my understanding that this was also result of the lack of Adamic blood due to the default...in addition to the fact we are a decimal world. The LC's were counting on a balancing and mitigating influence which did not happen to the degree of their calculations!

65:5.1 (736.4) It was a source of regret to the Life Carriers that our special efforts to modify intelligent life on Urantia should have been so handicapped by tragic perversions beyond our control: the Caligastia betrayal and the Adamic default.

65:5.2 (736.5) But throughout all of this biologic adventure our greatest disappointment grew out of the reversion of certain primitive plant life to the prechlorophyll levels of parasitic bacteria on such an extensive and unexpected scale. This eventuality in plant-life evolution caused many distressful diseases in the higher mammals, particularly in the more vulnerable human species. When we were confronted with this perplexing situation, we somewhat discounted the difficulties involved because we knew that the subsequent admixture of the Adamic life plasm would so reinforce the resisting powers of the resulting blended race as to make it practically immune to all diseases produced by the vegetable type of organism. But our hopes were doomed to disappointment owing to the misfortune of the Adamic default.

Me here: There were many other elements of the Life Carriers experimentation that also had profound effects...and I do agree that Riktare is correct about the parasitic potential and results being a calculated risk that went bad....but others went rather well and have actually accelerated the success of the eventuation and evolution of being an inhabited world:

65:4.7 (735.6) There were many unique features of the Urantia life experiment, but the two outstanding episodes were the appearance of the Andonic race prior to the evolution of the six colored peoples and the later simultaneous appearance of the Sangik mutants in a single family. Urantia is the first world in Satania where the six colored races sprang from the same human family. They ordinarily arise in diversified strains from independent mutations within the prehuman animal stock and usually appear on earth one at a time and successively over long periods of time, beginning with the red man and passing on down through the colors to indigo.

65:4.8 (735.7) Another outstanding variation of procedure was the late arrival of the Planetary Prince. As a rule, the prince appears on a planet about the time of will development; and if such a plan had been followed, Caligastia might have come to Urantia even during the lifetimes of Andon and Fonta instead of almost five hundred thousand years later, simultaneously with the appearance of the six Sangik races.

65:4.9 (735.

On an ordinary inhabited world a Planetary Prince would have been granted on the request of the Life Carriers at, or sometime after, the appearance of Andon and Fonta. But Urantia having been designated a life-modification planet, it was by preagreement that the Melchizedek observers, twelve in number, were sent as advisers to the Life Carriers and as overseers of the planet until the subsequent arrival of the Planetary Prince. These Melchizedeks came at the time Andon and Fonta made the decisions which enabled Thought Adjusters to indwell their mortal minds.

65:4.10 (736.1) On Urantia the endeavors of the Life Carriers to improve the Satania life patterns necessarily resulted in the production of many apparently useless forms of transition life. But the gains already accrued are sufficient to justify the Urantia modifications of the standard life designs.

65:4.11 (736.2) It was our intention to produce an early manifestation of will in the evolutionary life of Urantia, and we succeeded. Ordinarily, will does not emerge until the colored races have long been in existence, usually first appearing among the superior types of the red man. Your world is the only planet in Satania where the human type of will has appeared in a precolored race.

Me here: It seems that the Most Highs have really had to consider their Plan B responses to unexpected outcomes and failures on Urantia to keep us moving through the Mortal Epochs these past million years.

Probably the most profound influence of response and remedy was Michael choosing our world for his final bestowal and the gift of the Spirit of Truth and the flood of TA's. The UB says our world would quickly revert to savage barbarity if the TA's were to suddenly depart.
