Thank the Gods for Darwin.

Quite important in the scheme of science, although I'd say the inventor of the Cadburies Twirl is possibly more pleasing.

Darwin isn't forced on us the way religion has been, otherwise the national anthem would start: "Our Gracious Queen will be saved or not according to a series of factors that are sod-all to do with God," and once a week school assemblies would start with everyone singing: "All things biological/ All matter sweet or frightening/ Are Godless, real and logical/ See – where's the bleeding lightning?"

Can we please forget about Charles Darwin?
As we celebrate Charles Darwin's anniversary, a leading geneticist argues that our understanding of evolution would be much improved if we removed Darwin's life - and pointless references to religion - from the equation.

Religion is not about truth. It is about faith. The 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth reminds us of this. The Origin Of Species is no longer reviled, as it was on publication, as undermining Christianity.
