"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

At the Wall Street Journal somebody said they didn't get the memo about Mr. God not being real.
Mr. God stopped being real in 1859 when Mr. Darwin published On the Origin of Species.
