Just the question iself is enough. This was also stated recently by a self-described “unbeliever”:
“to some extent it [TOE] has itself evolved”.
Really, a “theory” can “evolve” even though a “theory” is not a biological entity?!
Thankfully, the framing was welcome: “As a non believer, I do find this difficult.”
Amen to searching and trying to understand the teachings!
