"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

The Vietnam war was a terrible mistake. More than 50,000 Americans killed for nothing. Then of course there were the Vietnamese including the little girl in this famous photo. About 2 million civilians on both sides and some 1.1 million North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters were killed. About 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died in the war.
At the Wall Street Journal she wrote an article about her experience (it was worse than terrible). It was an interesting but horrible story. Then I was disappointed to see this disgusting nonsense:
"Those bombs led me to Jesus Christ."
-- Kim Phuc Phan Thi, aka "Napalm Girl"
She used to belong to the Caodaism religion.
The Wall Street Journal comments were all written by Christian morons. I was going to write this comment: "The Magic Jeebus Man is dead." I decided to write nothing to avoid harassment from the assholes for Jeebus.
A typical comment: "A wonderful story. You have found the truth!"
The dead decomposing Magic Jeebus Man magically became a zombie. That's the truth? The stupid, it burns.
Wall Street Journal - The Salvation of ‘Napalm Girl’. I still need treatment for the burns on my arms, back and neck. But my heart is healed.
