I'm not a Bible Thumper and I consider myself to be at least a scientific semi-literate.
My issue with "Evolution" is that it doesn't seem to explain much of anything. The odds of molecules randomly jumbling themselves into amino-acids and then having animo acids (left handed only) bumping together to form proteins and a cell are beyond astronomical. The odd of a 2,000 proteins forming a cell are 1E 5,700 - 1. That is, a number with 5,700 zeros after it. The number of subatomic particles in the universe was estimated at 1E80, so if you lop that off of the odds, we're still 1E 5,720 - 1.
Putting that aside, what supposedly distinguishes humans on this mythical evolutionary scale is our self awareness. No other creature is self aware, or so we're told.
So, where did self awareness come from? Are atoms self aware? Did self awareness "evolve" or is it build into the fabric of the Universe?
