Today marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species...?

A young Shropshire fellow named Chuck

Proposed an idea that has stuck:

We all are connected

(And naturally selected)

And all now agree save dumbf**ks.

*Drink*

Darwin had all the answers, right?

He just couldn't figure out How the first species got here.

Funny?

Quotes from Charles Darwin

“In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.” (Letter to John Fordyce, May 7 1879)

"My theology is a simple muddle: I cannot look at the Universe as the result of blind chance, yet I can see no evidence of beneficent Design." (Letter to Joseph Hooker, July 12 1870)

I will

Cheers to Darwin and Lucy. May the knowledge they bring filter through into the brains of even the most benighted brainwashed religionist

Cheers!

Here's to following the evidence, wherever it may lead.

Here here!! Cheers to Chuck Darwin!! [clink, gulp]

And here's to my super-mega-great-great-grandma, Lucy!! [clink, gulpgulp]

And here's to Richard Dawkins for helping me better understand Chuck and Lucy!!! [clink, gulpgulpgulp]

Everyone who took and understood grade 10 biology. Those who won't, never took the class, or couldn't understand even the simplest idea of survival by natural selection.

Thank you Mr. Darwin.

Personally, I celebrated this event by re-reading Origin over the past few months. Oh and challenging creationists to do the same thing.

Undisputed?

I raise my pitcher of ale to good ole Chuck Darwin

I hope I speak for all science teachers when I say, "God Bless you, Mr. Darwin."
