Happy Darwin Day!

"When we celebrate Darwin, we are not cheering for a man who got lucky one day, but for someone who represents many of what we consider scientific virtues: curiosity, rigour, discipline, meiticulous observation, experiment, and intellectual courage" ~ P. Z. Myers

This community is 3 years old now! Thanks to one and all who have posted and kept it alive. We now have 365 members, the great majority of whom watch the community.

I really love this lecture by Richard Dawkins, you should definitely watch it if you like evolution: http://breeze01.uclan.ac.uk/p96353782/ Dawkins gave it for a previous Darwin day, and it's thoroughly interesting.

PRINCETON, NJ -- On the eve of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, a new Gallup Poll shows that only 39% of Americans say they "believe in the theory of evolution," while a quarter say they do not believe in the theory, and another 36% don't have an opinion either way. These attitudes are strongly related to education and, to an even greater degree, religiosity.

There is a strong relationship between education and belief in Darwin's theory, as might be expected, ranging from 21% of those with high-school educations or less to 74% of those with postgraduate degrees.
