The quote is from Ken Miller's Rhode Island radio speech about evolution. You can read and/or listen to the entire speech HERE.
Ken Miller's point was Darwin could never have imagined how powerful the evidence for evolution would be in the 21st century. If Darwin could somehow magically appear on earth today he would be amazed his natural selection idea has been repeatedly shown to be absolutely for certain correct with massive evidence that couldn't possibly be more powerful.
Darwin would be even more amazed that with all these undeniable evidences for evolution there are still evolution deniers in this world, millions of them, especially in backward countries like the United States of Jeebus.
Grow up Americans. Stop disgracing your country. Study the evidence. And if you're too lazy or too cowardly to do that, then shut the fuck up. Your opinions don't matter because you're uneducated morons.
"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

"Darwin didn't know about the gene, but today we trace the ways in which genes themselves produce evolutionary change. Darwin didn't know about DNA, but today we follow the course of evolution thru our own DNA and the story is unmistakable. Like everything else on this planet, we evolved."
