"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

Another quote for my list of favorite quotes: This one is about batshit-crazy religious fucktards.
"Believing in religion and the supernatural must be a collective mental illness; especially in the modern era where knowledge should be abundant enough for people to know better." -- Anon
