"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

An interesting scientific fact: Humans are apes.
Simple English Wikipedia - Hominidae
The hominids are members of the biological family Hominidae (the great apes). This includes humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.
Wikipedia - Ape
Humans are by far the most numerous of the ape species, in fact outnumbering all other primates by a factor of several thousand to one.
Wikipedia - Hominidae
The Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnɪdiː/), whose members are known as great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo, the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan; Gorilla, the eastern and western gorilla; Pan, the common chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, which includes modern humans and its extinct relatives (e.g., the Neanderthal), and ancestors, such as Homo erectus.
What are the religious implications?
Jeebus was an ape. Christians worship a dead ape.
