"Evolution was one of the biggest faith-killers that ever came down the pike."
-- Jerry Coyne
I found this is at Religion as therapy: Stephen Asma doesn’t care whether it’s true as long as it makes us feel better.
I read the whole thing. It's one of Jerry Coyne's best articles.

"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
