"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

Biologist Sean Carroll wrote about his contempt for know-nothing evolution deniers.
"The denial of evolution requires denial of the bedrock of two centuries of biology and geology. That is quite a feat."
-- Sean B. Carroll, "The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution"
