The New Genesis: A Very Short Story of a Very Long Time, A Very Brief History of Everything

This short story of a very long time is an attempt to encapsulate the knowledge about our genesis that our inquisitiveness has gleaned from the evidence that nature has left us and to present the key evidence and deduction in a way that can be satisfyingly complete yet compact.
Such a (very brief) history of everything can then more easily stay with us and remind us constantly of how insignificant (or maybe significant?) we all are in the universal scale of things, how vulnerable we are, how bound up we are with what surrounds us and how we should cherish the resources we have literally at our disposal.
