Dawkins
If I don't understand Quantum Mechanics or Relativity
the last thing I should reasonably expect to be able to do
is get away with criticizing it as though my opinion had
as much weight as that of a person who spent a professional
lifetime studying it. Yet, alone amongst the sciences,
the theory of evolution is considered fair game for criticism
by people of any level of ignorance.
In the middle ages at least people had an excuse for such ignorance.
In this age of high technology and scientific breakthoughs, the ingrained,
bigoted and ill-thought out repostes to evolution can only be described
as willful ignorance. And that's the worst kind.

thought for the day
"Religions are not revealed: they are evolved. If a religion were revealed by God,
that religion would be perfect in whole and in part, and would be as perfect at the
first moment of its revelation as after ten thousand years of practice.
There has never been a religion that which fulfills those conditions."
-Robert Blatchford, author (1851-1943)
