"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

A comment someone wrote at the New York Times about an organized crime gang, aka the Catholic Church.
"I don’t understand why prosecutors don’t employ the RICCO statutes. The Catholic Church fits the description of an organized crime gang in just about every way. Send Cardinals to jail for being necessary accessories to child abuse and obstruction. Confíscate property of the church to pay damages."
