I love worms. I bought a bunch of them for an organic vegetable garden I had when I lived in Chicago. Working in my garden at night I saw two worms making love. I gave them a nudge with my finger and they almost instantly disappeared under my black soil. I had no idea worms could move that fast. Thanks to those worms my tomato plants grew taller than I am (five feet 11 inches). I had to buy new longer stakes for my tomato plants because I underestimated the power of worms.
"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
