how evolution/big bang/abiogenesis happened

1.42K viewsBiologyOther

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!

Start with some high school level textbooks from non-conservative states in biology and basic science. This should give you enough to work from to explore free college level courses. You are starting 12+ years behind a lot of posters here. Also do not feel bad. Millions of thinkers and millenia of language were required to distill that knowledge into ordinary k-12 education.
