    I always knew that they had the same birthday, but I somehow never knew what day it was… Anyways, I think some equal, evolved pies are in order.

    Oh Darwin and Abe, who knows where we would be without you.

    Even if someone else had published similar findings to Darwin (though someone DID, which was why he decided to after all, yes?) who knows if they would have lasted/been taken seriously.

    I still need to see Creation though…

  10. (9) Ideas similar to Darwin’s were in the air. Somebody else would have synthesized them if he hadn’t (and Alfred Russel Wallace actually did). But I think very, very few people could have done what Lincoln did. That was truly a case of the right person in the right place at the right time.

      Three coolest people of all time: Leonardo DaVinci, Ernest Shackleton, and Joe Biden. I have a bunch more nominees, but I’ll add Darwin and Lincoln to the list if you think they deserve it.

    I would just like to say that I took a standardized test this morning for some academic challenge thingy, and one of the prompts was about Darwin/The Origin of Species. And the first question was, if the excerpt posted had been written 50 years after TOoS was published, when was the excerpt from?

    And because of this thread I was able to figure out when Darwin was born (2010-201) and from there when he probably published TOoS, and then add 50 :D Thanks MB!
