Default Buddha on evolution...

In the Aganna Sutta, Buddha describes the universe as being destroyed and then re-evolving into its present form over countless millions of years. Life first forms on the surface of the water and evolves from simple into complex organisms. All these processes are without beginning or end, and are set in motion by natural causes.

Buddhism always has great ways of showing us as expressions of our environment not the other way around. I like much of what the sutras have to say. Sutra is from the same root as "suture" as in the ones that doctors use to sew up wounds. It means that the texts tie things together. Pretty cool
