At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Depends, really. Do you expect to be camping a lot in the foreseeable future? Solar powered gadgets such as those can be useful in the great outdoors or when civilization collapses and forces you to become a hardcore survivalist.

Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and atheist wrote:"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...The notion that science
and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."
"A rejection of all philosophy is in itself philosophy."

There's you, Aure, Bralia, my boyfriend, some people from the Pdox thread, a few people from school, some people from Chivalry, and a Norwegian YouTuber.

Well, you're certainly in need of more friends.
I have too many
