Problem seems to be isolationism. Every Tom Dick and Harry gets to evolve on their own. Tom Dick and Harry being species of course. So which came first? The Elephant or the Dung Beetle? Does anyone still really believe that a load of atoms, i.e. electrons, neutrons and mostly space are all jiggling around and somehow out of this species evolve somehow in isolation? As if all these phenomena are somehow separate?

Don't get me wrong. Science is amazing. It is just that even as a young man after discarding religion it did not take me long to suss out that science was the new religion. Religion is just like pole dancing though more useful. Takes all kinds to make a universe.
