Darwin killed God

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

My ten best posts.

Here is a list of my ten best posts. They are my best posts because I didn't write them, they are mostly copy and paste jobs. They are must-read posts for everyone. If you are a new visitor and your time is limited, please at least read these ten posts.

Several quotes from Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne

Magical Intelligent Design Creationism is misrepresented by its adherents, not its critics.

Many thanks to Pete Stark, the only normal person (atheist) in the United States Congress.

Let's stop being so damned respectful.

Evolution is God's redundancy notice, his pink slip.
