Shape input/evolution.md into the family-history chapter: the author's path from his mother's charge through Eastern paths, Ki, witchcraft and its price, the turn to Christ, the Bible's cracks, the age-43 deep dive, and landing on Gnosticism/Sethians/Sumerians, closing on the evidence-based framing. Voice preserved, cross-linked to Part III; teaching content deferred to Part I. Update OUTLINE. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
