"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

Just before sunrise I saw a Muscovy duck with her 5 baby ducks who looked like about 2 days old. I saw the waning crescent moon, 24% of full. I could see Venus. Between the dark clouds over the ocean I could see clouds painted red. It was 71 degrees (22 degrees Celsius). South Florida is a real heaven, much better than the magical heaven cowards believe in.
