"The greatest scripture-killer ever penned."

This quote is from the book Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible by Jerry Coyne.

"But these episodes of conflict didn't give rise to public discussion about the relationship of science and religion. That had to wait until the nineteenth century, and was probably ignited by Charles Darwin's 1859 publication of On the Origin of Species. The greatest scripture-killer ever penned, the book demolished (not deliberately) an entire series of biblical claims by demonstrating that purely naturalistic processes -- evolution and natural selection -- could explain patterns in nature previously explainable only by invoking a Great Designer."
