What Charles Darwin wrote is the exact opposite of what religions do. When Mr. Darwin realized he was wrong about something he threw the idea out. When religions are shown they are wrong about something they don't throw out the idea. They just believe in it no matter what.
"I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free so as to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as the facts are shown to be opposed to it."
-- Charles Darwin
I have about 100 Charles Darwin quotes at Charles Darwin quotes and at Some more Charles Darwin quotes.
"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
