Evolution, how, or why?

Science is meant to try and explain natural selection, or evolution, the creation of the stars and planets in the universe
using physics to try to explain some full spectrum of creation

the tectonic forces of the Earth's land masses (or subset of the majorities)
it's core, gravitational pull, particles and how they operate in the universe
using logic and abstract mathematics

and then, there's why
creation stories, religion, I was never good in sociology
or in understanding efficiencies in general economics
when it comes down to preservation

I'm not sure what anyone means by preservation

why or when, or even how.

Some are too rigid in their thinking while others are too dogmatic in their ideologies

And there's never enough art, or communication

that says maybe we could decide, or maybe we shouldn't
even ever try

I actually liked his gibberish. This one does not hold a candle to the beer and travel expenses guy.

trying to abridge human or any living, or AI
concepts toward why the universe exists

old word deconstruction
seeing old stuff in art
that's passed down

hearing about fusion, about human made climate
change, trying to understand what animals know

and the invisible microbes and viruses

and the new pictures taken from the james webb space
telescope

and to what degree of importance they impart

So, I was reading a book about Black History.

The introduction is basically a tutorial in Plate Tectonics.

..."And then, biology happens", because...well, what else can he say?

Not being a biologist myself, that works for me.
