    As you might have already heard, like Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin was born on this date 200 years ago, February 12, 1809.

    Celebrations of the lives of both men are taking place in many parts of the world and in many places online — including on the Science section of this very Web site, where there is an interactive look at Darwin’s writings, a collection of articles and multimedia features on evolution, an Editorial Observer column by Verlyn Klinkenborg and an Op-Ed by Olivia Judson.

    Saty, stop telling to everybody that they are idiots :-(. There are different opinions in the vvorld :).
    Anyvvays, I agree vvith you that most of times it's just ingnorance. I don't have any problem to conciliate religion and science (even though I'm not "religious" in the common meaning). Some ppl think that you have to believe one thing or another, though.
    Regretting evolution, vvith all the proofs vve have is like regretting holocaust, in my opinion. But eh, that is.
