Galapagos Finch isn’t as famous as, say, Paul McCartney.

And John Lennon once said that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

I sing my song, named for the finch in question, and still some people are oblivious to the role that he played in the development of the theory of evolution. And some other people still think that evolution is a big con - that God (their very particular God, not somebody else’s) did it all. Some other people, who believe God did it all, also believe that he (or she) did it through the process of evolution.

It’s a minefield of confusing narratives out there. Because we all like evidence for some things, but prefer faith and dogma in other situations.

But it really is getting harder to place a flag in the Continent Of Knowledge and declare - This! This is, almost certainly, The Truth.

Experts and Authorities have had their day.

And good riddance, some might say. They wielded far too much power.

Trouble is, as that ancient Continent breaks up and drifts apart, we all find ourselves with less and less solid ground to stand upon. Good Reason hasn’t got the microphone anymore. In fact the microphone, courtesy of The Net, has been given to every Tom, Dick, and Harriet.

Now any old fool can run a country. Or question a scientist.

Well, like everyone else, I’ve got a microphone. For what it’s worth. So have you. Personally I’m going to use mine to do what I most enjoy. I’m going to sing. Think I’ll kick off with that famous Darwin song ”All You Need Is Love”.

Charlie Darwin! Wow! What a great songwriter he was.

And perhaps, just maybe, Love is the missing link, when all is said and done.
