Today is Charles Darwin’s birthday. Born in 1809, Charles Darwin explored the world and came to the conclusion that life on earth was not created by some big daddy in the sky as he was taught to believe. He explored and saw the evidence which he termed “Natural Selection”. He did not really “discover” evolution as that was already evident.
One must remember that if Charles Darwin didn’t put forth his ideas of natural selection some one else would have. There was no stopping the push to understand the world as it is versus what the church said it was. A 150 years after he published his “Origins of Species”, it still remains one of the most influential books ever created. Too bad those idiots who promote Intelligent Design never read it.
I’ll leave you with this quote from Mr. Darwin. When you read this quote think of the current crop of Republican candidates."Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science"
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Again, Happy Birthday Charlie!
By the way Happy Birthday to Abe Lincoln. He’s claimed these days by the Republicans but Abe wouldn’t like what’s happened today with the GOP.
