"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

The religious extremists need the religious moderates to justify their insanity.
I tried to explain this concept in the comments of this post. Join in if you want but please be nice. Extremely nice.
Also, just a reminder, I encourage visitors to not call themselves Anonymous when they write comments. There's less confusion when everyone chooses an internet name and sticks with the same name.
