Yeah, like you would be looking at these stratigraphic sequences and it was, you know, forgive my language, but it was a motherfucker because you were just like, right, we haven't gone from complex to simple.
By and large, we go from simple to complex or more complex.
and it was just a consistent pattern and it's very very hard to explain that
So then I was like, OK, theologically, the real, real issue is Adam and Eve.
So technically speaking, I can believe in evolution as long as it's not Adam and Eve, as long as it's not us.
And then what happened was I came across retrotransposons, which are very, very complicated to explain.
But basically, it's like a foreign organism's DNA within our own bodies.
within the retrotransposons that we have align on a family tree with what you would expect from evolution if you then looked at those same retrotransposons within chimps.
