Rather than go on explaining the book, here is a quote from about 3/4 way through:
” In the fossil record of our existence, there is no trace of love. You cannot find it held in the earth’s crust, waiting to be discovered. The long bones of our ancestors show nothing of their hearts. Their last meal is sometimes preserved in peat or in ice, but their thoughts and feelings are gone.
Darwin overturned a stable-state system of creation and completion. His new world was flux, change, trial and error, maverick shifts, chance, fateful experiments and lottery odds against success. But earth has turned out to be the blue ball with the winning number. Bobbing alone in a sea of space, earth was the lucky number.”
