-- James
"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'm adding this to my list of favorite quotes. It's about science and magic god fairies.
"We have science now. We have an understanding of the world born from observation and rationality; and we don't require gods or supernatural beliefs to explain the phenomena around us. Yes, there are always things that we can't explain, but we understand that it's only a matter of time before the technology and data catch up."
