"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

"Shall we frankly declare that, after the most deliberate consideration of Mr. DARWIN's arguments, we remain unconvinced?" THEY DIDN'T GET IT, USING THE LACK OF FOSSILS OF TRANSITIONAL SPECIES IN 1860 AS THEIR EXCUSE.
