Hi mccoist, its really good to hear from you !

I don't know where you've done your research, but I think perhaps you might be misunderstanding Buddhism . I recommend that you read the transcript/ listen/or both to this excellent talk : "What is Buddhism "

http://www.dhammasukha.org/Study/Tal...T-MAR03-TS.htm

I'm not quite sure what you mean by meditating towards your inner self. It's not always a good idea to try to meditate without any instruction ...so I suggest that you seriously consider trying this Buddhist Meditation series on youtube.com given by a respected meditation teacher. The first one is the introduction.

Buddhist Meditation (1) Introduction

Regarding your comments on evolution, I'm not aware of Buddhism contradicting the theory of evolution.... and in fact the Buddha refused to answer questions about the nature of the universe.

With kind wishes,

Aloka-D
