4. I think we were dropped off by an alien spaceship a long, long time ago.
And have been adapting to changes in the environment ever since. The spaceship has since gotten lost and there is little hope we will be reunited with it.

20. just a little twig on a minor branch of the Tree of Life.
Just one species out of 50 million, most of them undiscovered microbes. We are not the "Crown of Creation" and the world is not designed for our benefit. We live in Gaia's abode on her terms.

22. We're just a rag-tag bunch of
multicellular heterotrophs called primates. To religious believers, "God" symbolizes the ultimate, invisible alpha male.
