I cannot imagine a more incredible thing than the knowledge that I am made of starstuff - that I, insignificant though I may be, am deeply connected to this vast cosmos. Not only that, but I get to have a brief glimpse at the inherent truth of that knowledge through the lens of science. I simply cannot imagine a religion that could inspire such a feeling of genuine awe.
I am genuinely awed by the fact that there is a magnifigant being out there who had the mind and power to create the universe we exist in.
You can be in awe of the universe much the same way you can be in awe of E=mc2...but im sure the man behind that equation is more awe inspiring then his equation.

The theory of evolution provides a single framework for understanding the rise of complex life from simple origins. One size fits all.
im not sure if you can say that considering abiogenesis has not been worked out yet.
Yes life is here, but they still dont have any way of proving just how it got here. Evolution is a simple theory...a simple theory with no way of proving its beginning or IOW a theory without a foundation.
