In 1860 the famous duel between T.H. Huxley and Bishop Wilberforce took place, and the wife of the bishop of Worcester is reported to have said this in reaction to hearing Darwin?s theory of evolution.

I'd give Charles Darwin videotapes of 'Geraldo,' 'Beavis and Butt-head' and 'The McLaughlin Group.' I would be interested in seeing if he still believes in evolution.

I have come to think of this humanist trend in psychology as a revolution in the truest, oldest sense of the word; the sense in which Galileo, Darwin, Einstein, Freud and Marx made revolutions, i.e. New ways of perceiving and thinking, new images of

Darwin was right: to survive you have to be fit. And to be fit you have to fit in, as Johnnie Cochran might say. If your moral compass is in the right place, your range can be expansive, and to meet the needs of an audience you have to have an expanded horizon. Otherwise you will perish. But if you have that grounded center, you'll be fine.

[Honors: At his funeral, Charlie Chaplin read Dreiser's poem,] The Road I Came... American writing before and after his time differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin. He was a man of large originality, of profound feeling and of unshakable courage. All of us who write are better off because he lived, worked and hoped.

The prosecutor's theory on this case has taken more evolutions than Darwin, said one of Lisa Holland's two attorneys, Andrew Abood.

Strong wind gusts are expected at Darwin by tomorrow morning and the cyclone is not showing any signs of weakening. We're hoping as it hits the land it will lose some intensity, but there's no doubt a serious cyclone is on the way.

In Darwin's day, the cell was basically a little blob of Jell-O enclosed by a membrane. That's why Darwin didn't write about the origin of life; he wrote about the origin of species.

We respect people's beliefs, and conversion is not necessarily our goal. We hope that every visitor will have a clearer idea of what Darwin did and, for that matter, what science means.

[When curators at the American Museum of Natural History began planning an exhibition on Darwin three years ago, they didn't anticipate a roiling national debate about evolution and intelligent design.] We didn't think the issue would be as white-hot as it is right now,.. It kind of raised the ante for us. My sense was, let's make this show good, because people really want to see it. They need it.

We have previously stated a preference for the field to be connected by pipeline to an LNG plant in Darwin and that is still Woodside's position, but it is not something that has been settled.

If you made a movie about (evolutionary biologist Charles) Darwin now, it would be revolutionary. If we did a documentary on Darwin, I'd get a thousand hate e-mails.

After Darwin, God's role changes from being the designer of all creatures, great and small, to being the designer of the laws of nature, from which natural selection can unfold, to being just perhaps the chooser of the laws.

The fact that the association is statistically significant despite the crudeness of our estimates suggests that the true biological association is very strong. Darwin's famous book was called 'On the Origin of Species,' but it was really about natural selection on traits rather than species formation. Since our study suggests that natural selection is a general cause of species formation, it seems that Darwin chose an appropriate title after all.

Darwin and his descendants couldn't have asked for a better example of how you make scientific predictions and how you verify them in a very rigorous way.

They knew how to live with nature and get along with nature. They didn't try too hard to be all men and no animal. That's the mistake we made when Darwin showed up. We embraced him and Huxley and Freud, all smiles. And then we discovered that Darwin and our religions didn't mix. Or at least we didn't think they did. We were fools. We tried to budge Darwin and Huxley and Freud. They wouldn't move very well. So, like idiots, we tried knocking down religion. We succeeded pretty well. We lost our faith and went around wondering what life was for. If art was no more than a frustrated outflinging of desire, if religion was no more than self-delusion, what good was life? Faith had always given us answer to all things. But it all went down the drain with Freud and Darwin. We were and still are lost people.

So this is where all the vapid talk about the 'soul' of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The 'vacuum' will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific.

For more than a year, he'd felt destined to marry Isabel Arundell; now, suddenly, he wasn't so sure. He loved her, that was certain, but he also resented her. He loved her strength and practicality but resented her overbearing personality and tendency to do things on his behalf without consulting him first; loved that she tolerated his interest in all things exotic and erotic but hated her blinkered Catholicism. Charles Darwin had killed God but she and her family, like so many others, still clung to the delusion.

He [William Jennings Bryan] recognized that what Darwin proposed on the biological level, when applied on the societal level, might legitimize an ideology that supports the survival of the fittest, with all of its dire complications. Byran was able to envision the kind of society that Social Darwinism would create- the kind of exploitation that comes from unbridled capitalism, for instance- and chose to war against it.

You'd think that people would have figured out by now that sticking a fork into the toaster is perhaps not the best idea. Oh well, score another point for Darwinism, I suppose.
