How life works:
Charles Darwin
Alfred Russel Wallace
Carl Linnaeus
evolution by natural selection
tens of thousands of generations and billions of years of life
1.8 million species with a possible 8-100 million other species
all of which make up a theoretically-grounded
and an evidence-based understanding of life,
and seem to express forms of truth about life -
(but which do not a 'divine' exclude
{logically}).
But some curious divine-centrism might logically here then seem to have to do primarily with replication of DNA {deoxyribonucleic acid}.
To me, however, Richard Dawkins makes sense when he says the divine is not ... (in his book "The God Delusion," and in other writings), for a variety of reasons.
3.5 billion years is a long time for DNA / life to replicate,
and a lot of speciation / mutations (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation) to occur,
giving rise to an amazing number of species,
a few of which are communicative, ~
especially humans with language.
Symbolizing (Deacon) is a far-reaching process,
especially vis-a-vis language
and culture ...
{How does culture work anthropologically in the context of evolution (and vis-a-vis primates)?}
I'm most interested in counterculture
{'peace, love and happiness' ~ 'make love, not war'},
partly because 'it' highlights fascinating aspects of 'culture' ...
Let's celebrate hippie Darwinism :)
With hummingbird, friendly greetings,

Ah, the Harbin pools soon ...
