“ No evidence is powerful enough to force acceptance of a conclusion that is emotionally distasteful. ”
Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.
~ Theodosius Dobzhansky
Seen in the light of evolution, biology is, perhaps, intellectually the most satisfying and inspiring science. Without that light it becomes a pile of sundry facts -- some of them interesting or curious but making no meaningful picture as a whole.
The evolution of life, and the evolutionary origin of mankind, are scientifically established as firmly and completely as any historical event not witnessed by human observers. Any concession to anti-evolutionists, suggesting that there are scientific reasons to doubt the facticity of evolution, would be propagating a plain untruth.
Nature's stern discipline enjoins mutual help at least as often as warfare. The fittest may also be the gentlest.
