When I listen to Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne explain evolution by natural selection, I'm transported back in time, to when that first cell emerged, and eventually divided, and then algae, muck of all kinds, and voila: reptiles, mammals, primates, homo sapiens! Almost everything arrived... and departed,  over billions of years of survival and reproduction. Successfully replicating genes really play the long game! At various times, all of life burst forth, though actually in imperceptible gradations, during the journey, and we don't acknowledge that it's also plants, flowers, trees, bacteria for Christ's sake, hundreds of thousands of viruses, with most of creation, 99% no longer with us. We are privileged, and should be humbled, to know our origins, and we damn well have an obligation to spread our genuine origin story with everyone. Science undertook this most noble challenge in the teeth of religious opposition. We should have immense gratitude for the countless scientists and naturalists who connected the dots, unearthed the fossils, and explored the genetics of it all!  We should all marvel at the tenacity of our ancestors whose genes eventually got  us here. They suffered in ways that we can't imagine. We should recognize our shared ancestry with all of life! The Bible isn't the greatest story ever told, it's Darwin's dangerous idea! Isn't our obligation to all that preceded us immense?
