"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

What somebody wrote is on my list of favorite quotes. It's about the magic god fairy and the fucktards who think the thing is real.
"Once you believe that god exists, and start explaining things in the real world with magic, like the story of how god made the world, you are no longer bound by reality or the laws of physics or by common sense or rationality in your thinking and in your arguments. You can think, believe, and argue unrestricted by reality and unhindered by facts."
