Tomorrow Is Darwin Day

Tomorrow is Darwin Day (February 12th).  It is sad that Charles Darwin does not have his own national holiday.  But for religious fundamentalism, he would, for such has been his contribution to the world.  Of course, Darwin was not the first person to discover evolution, but he was the first to discover evolution by natural selection.  And, thanks to him, evolution is today a household word.  Medical science, I hope, and the prospects look good, will one day eliminate many of the diseases that afflict so many people i.e. cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, etc.  If and when scientists do, thank Charles Darwin (and some other folks too, of course).  For we would not know about genetic mutations and genetic variants without the discovery that life evolves.  Thank you, Charles Darwin.
