"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

Terror at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo
When I visited the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago I was watching a 600 pound gorilla. He was right next to me. Very thick glass separated us. I turned my head to talk to my friends. When I was about to look at the gorilla again he threw his entire weight at me. I forgot about the glass and I was terrified. It was a well done and planned practical joke.
This gorilla was a very intelligent creature. It was obvious to me we shared an ancient ape ancestor.
The evolution deniers don't know what they're missing. Nothing could be more interesting than the 4 billion years history of life as explained by evolution.
