Origin and End of the Species by Jim Carson
This book invites you to join a quest for answers about our existence and the existence of the cosmos! How did we and the cosmos come to be? Are we fallen angels or risen apes? Is there an afterlife? Are we a random outcome of evolutionary forces? These are some of the existential questions addressed in these pages. During this quest, you will encounter exotic entities like Black Holes, Red Giants and even White Dwarfs. You will experience the drama of the evolving cosmos and the scenario where life almost ended before it began. You will explore the secrets of the lost city, which, some say, holds the key to the origin of life. You will be bedazzled by the beauty and awesomeness of galactic outer space and the weird and wonderful world of the microscopic atom and human cell. You will marvel at the phenomenon of existence and maybe unravel the evolutionary and controversial pathway of our human lineage. You will see that there is an inextricable relationship between all that exists.
It is 2023, and our home is burning before our eyes. We are not just sleepwalking toward extinction; we are marching toward it at an accelerating speed. What must be done to save the planet and ourselves? Where is the hope of a brighter future?
