"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

One year ago: Old Charles Darwin paper £10 notes out, new 10p coins in.
An interesting difference between a United States 10 dollar bill and what used to be the UK's tenner.
The United States money has the moronic "In God We Trust". The UK tenner had a picture of Charles Darwin, the scientist who killed God.
