Before anyone comes for me, I grew up southern baptist – went to a private christian school & was homeschooled for a few years. The extent of my “science” education when it came to evolution & the origin of the universe was “if we came from monkeys why do monkeys still exist?” and “look at this galaxy that’s shaped like a cross, isn’t god amazing!!” I’m an atheist now and would like to have some sort of understanding of how our world came to be, but trying to figure it out as an adult with no real foundation has been incredibly difficult, and none of it’s making sense. I also know I’m asking a lot as all 3 of those subjects are pretty extensive, so if you know any good videos or books I’d love some recommendations!

Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series does a great job across the board. I’m referring to the original series, not the remake. It’s well done and provides good clear information without talking down to the viewer.
Also the book A Brief History of Time is a good read and a small book designed to be accessible without a degree in physics being required.
