“If you believe in Creationism, I just want to open my heart to you and say that you’re a fucking moron.”

“If you believe in Creationism, I just want to open my heart to you and say that you’re a fucking moron.”

If there's a paper in one of the big journals that discusses more evidence for evolution, there is a creationist hack somewhere who'll quickly write it up and lie about it.
-- PZ Myers

Darwin anticipated problems with his theory. Modern science has
answered them. Evolution by Natural Selection has been triumphantly vindicated as fact.
-- Richard Dawkins

Darwin matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.
-- Michael Shermer

When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard every production of nature as one which has had a long history; when we contemplate every complex structure and instinct as the summing up of many contrivances, each useful to the possessor, in the same way as any great mechanical invention is the summing up of the labour, the experience, the reason, and even the blunders of numerous workmen; when we thus view each organic being, how far more interesting - I speak from experience - does the study of natural history become!
— Charles Darwin
