අපේ හාමුදුරුවො ඉන්ග්‍රීසි බසින් ලස්සනට පරිනාමවාදය සහ බුදධාගම ලෝකෙට තෙරුම් කරල දෙන එක බෝහෝම උතුම.

මට හරිම අාඩමබර හිතෙමව. එ අඩම්බරය තියෙන්නෙ මට අනිත්ය අවබෝද නැති හින්ද කියල මම දන්නව. කවද හරි එකත් දුකට කාරනයක්.

It is important to note that humanity is not the particular "end product" of evolution. Evolution has no purpose, genes only do what they are capable of, which of sheer "luck" has lead to the human race - such as it is today.

Interesting perspective. Much to ponder and assimilate.
