Darwin, Attenborough & The IDiots.

With the upcoming birthday of Charles Darwin and the subsequent celebrations of one of sciences greatest theories, Evolution by Natural Selection, it's good to know that certain members of society are still, mentally, traped in the Dark Ages - most notably religious creationists.

In intellectual circles the idea of a magically created universe was dismissed for what it was, a childs fairytale, 150 years ago when Darwin figured out how life has come to be as it is, through Evolution by Natural Selection.

But, of course, the theory has come under fire as it doesn't tie up with a mistranslated 2,000 year old shepherds almanac, namely the bible. Or the Koran. Or any other poorly constucted bronze age text.

Now it's come to my attention that living legend Sir David Attenborough has received "hate mail" from religious loons for failing to give credit to god in his programmes.

Feel that christian love.
