"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

Somebody with the internet name "God" explained why there are cowardly morons who will believe any bullshit that makes them feel good. I'm adding this to my list of favorite quotes.
"Some people don't want to accept the fact that life ends. So they believe in fairy tales passed down from the Bronze Age about imaginary friends who, if they are good, will grant them everlasting life in the Happy Place."
