Oh and of course making clear it belongs in the Philosophy, Religion Domain and not in the Domain of Science.

As for getting people to appreciate Evolution seems to me the key to that is trying to tell the fantastical story of Evolution.  Give people something to fill their heads with.  Creationism is a self-centered one-dimensional cartoon.  It has nothing, whereas Evolution, lordie the story scientists have stitched together.  And so on and so forth

My two cents on that topic

and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I’m disappointed you’ve never comment at the thread where I present this idea  since I can’t help but think this is part of what you’re trying to work out.

The missing key is appreciating the fundamental “Magisteria of Physical Reality,” and recognizing both science and religion are products of the “Magisteria of Our Mindscape.”

Science seeks to objectively learn about our physical world, but we should still recognize all our understanding is embedded within and constrained by our mindscape.

Religion is all about the human mindscape itself, with its wonderful struggles, fears, spiritual undercurrents, needs and stories we create to give our live’s meaning and make it worth living, or at least bearable.

What’s the point?
Science, religions, heaven, hell, political beliefs, even God, they are all products of the human mindscape, generations of imaginings built upon previous generations of imaginings, all the way down.

{That’s not to say they are the same thing, they are not!
Though I think they’re both equally valid human endeavors,
but fundamentally qualitatively different.
Religion deals with the inside of our minds, hearts and souls,
Science does its best to objectively understand the physical world beyond all that.}

And in any event, I’ll repeat my conviction that  this is First Base self-realization needed before one can seriously discuss our place in the world, God, Creation and Evolution and all that jazz.  Cheers
