In 1844 Robert Chambers called evolution transmutation of species. His book suggested every species including people developed from ancient species. The scientists who lived then didn't like the book and of course religious leaders hated it. The cowardly god nuts didn't have to worry about Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation because Mr. Chambers was unable to explain why evolution is possible.
Religious morons did have to worry about Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859 (and evolution still makes cowardly assholes cry) because Darwin explained how evolution was possible thanks to the mechanism called Natural Selection, a brilliant idea backed up by a lifetime of scientific research.
Today with the incredibly powerful evidence for evolution from molecular biology and several other branches of science, it has become impossible for an intelligent person to deny evolution. But still there are millions of evolution deniers, especially in backward hick-infested countries like the United States of Jeebus. Of course the reason for their breathtaking stupidity is the religious implications of evolution.
It is obvious to everyone who isn't terrified of reality that evolution is fact and evolution makes the human race's greatest and most idiotic mistake (an invisible creature with unlimited magical powers) completely unnecessary. While evolution by natural selection only explains the development of new species and not anything else, it's ridiculous to pretend supernatural magic is necessary for anything when magic most definitely was not necessary for something as complicated as life.
There are some people who realize denying evolution makes them look like uneducated morons but they are still not willing to grow up and throw out their childish god fantasy. They are cowards so they especially don't want to throw out their idiotic magical heaven fantasy. So they invoke their fairy to invent or use or guide evolution. They are sticking magic into science. Obviously these people are insane and not too bright. They're almost as stupid as the brain-dead scum who deny the whole thing.
One more time so morons (theists and agnostics) might understand. This is the 21st century so stop living in the Dark Ages. Your god is a childish fantasy, equal to the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy. Grow up and throw it out. If you're too afraid to grow up then look forward to your children laughing at you after they go to a university and find out you're a fucking idiot.
"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
