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!

I highly recommend you watch the show “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” with Neil DeGrasse Tyson narrating. Not only will it answer these questions but it will enlighten you as to how light works, magnetic fields, star classifications, the development of humans, and so so much more. It talks about some of the most important parts of our development in not only our evolution, or the earths evolution but also the evolution of the universe and how it’s all connected. You’ll learn about some important scientific discoveries and key moments in our history and who was responsible for them as well. It’s very well done and extremely educational while being easily digestible for even those who aren’t so scientifically savvy. It talks about everything you’ll want to know.
