I was saddened to find out just how much the British, in general, are so proud of the fact that Charles Darwin is English, lived and died in England. The Windsor royal family are big fans of Darwin. I was shocked.

Yes, evangelical whackjobs have yet to sink their claws into Great Britain and pollute science with their nonsense.

Now, now. Fundamentalist, literalist evangelicals do NOT represent all people of faith, any more than the extremist Muslims who believe in wanton bloodshed represent all Muslims.

This big, wonderous cosmos is NOT an accident!! It WAS designed and created.

Just proves there are loose cannons and wing-nuts in every house, or religion. From Crazy Uncle Albert to these people who say the earth is literally 6000 years old. Gives all religion a bad name and image.
