There's a cartoon short using the classical composition March Through Time where a guy in a spacesuit throws away a coke bottle from which all life evolves.

But any spaceman in our past would've had to be four billion years ago, because everything after that we can explain without him.

First, there was nothing. NO thing. Darkness. No light. No life. Anywhere. And then, out of no-thing, dark-ness, there miraculously appeared God, who created himself out of this darkness and nothingness, and then there was light, and somethingness, and he created everything else. How in the World can someone base an all-or-nothing Theology on this?? How is this "Reason"?
You'd love George Lucas' college project:

"First there was darkness. The Earth was void and without form. then I moved upon the face of the darkness. and I said... let there be light-" BOOOOOMMM!!!!! -Bomb 20, Darkstar

So, in order for me to stay sane and survive, spirituall, physically, I planted my feet firmly into Mother Earth and her sacred Mysteries. Doing so has granted me great insight, and I am able to extend my Spirit outward, into the Universe. My trinity is the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, because them being in Harmony is all important to my existance.

Nobody knows where we came from, and nobody knows where we are going. There exist many many theories. But there is very little solid proof of anything. Maybe we "can't handle" the truth. Maybe there is no universal truth. Lots of maybes. As far as current popular religious matters go, I stumble mostly around in the dark. It just does not make sense to me.
There is a fair bit of ground being made on how self replicating chemistry led to living organisms.
