"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

New visitors, here is a link to my best post.
Today for some reason I've been getting a lot of visitors from newstatesman.com where I wrote a comment 4 days ago. Welcome to my new blog. I encourage you to see what I think is my best post (it's my best post because I didn't write it). It's the best speech about evolution I ever heard before. It's by Ken Miller, a biology professor at Brown University. You can listen to his speech and/or read it because I typed the whole thing. Here it is:
If there's anything that might make Christians understand why denying evolution is a waste of a life, it is this speech by Ken Miller.
