I see around me a wondrous natural universe and myriad life forms shaped by billions of years of natural forces that are difficult for the average human mind to process because of his limited vantage point and chronically over-sized ego.
"God" is a complete no-show, except for those who like fantasy, fiction and fairy tale as chicken soup for the soul.
"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
