"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

A comment someone wrote at the Wall Street Journal about the uneducated morons, aka Republicans, who are too fucking stupid to understand why human-caused global warming is a real thing.
Dear global warming denier, for decades now, you’ve been presented with facts and with dire warning after dire warning, and you’ve willfully chosen to ignore them. Instead, you’ve clutched onto comforting lies, and unfounded suspicions, and conspiracy theories and wouldn’t let go. Do you remember that? I know that you do. Maybe you’re doing it right now. You and those like you have been wrong about the single most important global issue of your lives and now every living thing on Earth is going to pay the price for the comfort, convenience, and blissful ignorance you've enjoyed.
