"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

I found this quote, I don't know who wrote it. It's about the god fairy problem.
Religions teach people not to doubt, not to question, not to seek knowledge, but to be credulous and complacent and to accept as reality what can not even be shown to actually exist. That's damaging to the human intellect and retards the progress of humanity.
