Here’s my humble tribute to someone who, in his own unique way, with incredible patience and determination, and over the course of decades, developed a deep and meticulous understanding of how something could come out of nothing.
The theory of evolution by means of natural selection is one of the most successful scientific theories ever developed by humankind, whereby success is determined by how vast, diverse and consistent the scientific evidence is that supports it. I believe that we owe it to ourselves as individuals, and to the society to which we belong to, to take some time out of our busy schedules to study it, ruminate in it, and understand its vast implications for how we conceive our place as human species in the natural world and for how to conduct ourselves responsibly in relation to our environment for our sake and for the sake of our beloved planet Earth.

I had my own personal evolutionary evidence exposed last year. The giant thing they removed from my neck was a 3rd branchial cleft cyst. My doc told me the branchial cleft is remnants of former gills and usually close up when we’re born. Heck, it was worth 10 months of cancer scare just to have a chance to ponder that…gills…me…no wonder I love the beach!
Remarkable story. To be that close to the life of a fish for so long and without knowing!
