Darwin killed God

"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

I found another quote for my list of favorite quotes. It explains why religions are bullshit.

"Religion is not based on a sincere seek for truth that would demand intellectual honesty, but a sub-conscious or conscious need for psychological security."
