The cultural decadence and spiritual poverty resulting from the Caligastia
downfall and consequent social confusion had little effect on the physical
or biologic status of the Urantia peoples. Organic evolution proceeded apace,
quite regardless of the cultural and moral setback which so swiftly followed
the disaffection of Caligastia and Daligastia. And there came a time in the
planetary history, almost forty thousand years ago, when the Life Carriers
on duty took note that, from a purely biologic standpoint, the developmental
progress of the Urantia races was nearing its apex. The Melchizedek receivers,
concurring in this opinion, readily agreed to join the Life Carriers in a
petition to the Most Highs of Edentia asking that Urantia be inspected with
a view to authorizing the dispatch of biologic uplifters, a Material Son and
Daughter.

This request was addressed to the Most Highs of Edentia because they had exercised
direct jurisdiction over many of Urantia's affairs ever since Caligastia's
downfall and the temporary vacation of authority on Jerusem.

Tabamantia, sovereign supervisor of the series of decimal or experimental
worlds, came to inspect the planet and, after his survey of racial progress,
duly
recommended that Urantia be granted Material Sons. In a little less than
one hundred years from the time of this inspection, Adam and Eve, a Material
Son and Daughter of the local system, arrived and began the difficult task
of attempting to untangle the confused affairs of a planet retarded by rebellion
and resting under the ban of spiritual isolation.
