"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

Today's Agnes comic strip was about science and religion. I wrote 2 comments there.
Science killed religious stupidity in 1859 when Darwin published On the Origin of Species. Faith is the process of believing in ridiculous childish nonsense that make cowards feel good. http://www.gocomics.com/agnes/2015/10/15
