Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny

Richard Dawkins made the following statement during a BBC interview in February 2009 when asked if Darwin was considered controversial in the United States:

“[Darwin] is controversial amongst people who don’t know anything, but if you talk to people who are actually educated, he’s not really controversial. There’s no controversy about the fact we are cousins of monkeys, cousins of cows, cousins of aardvarks. That’s completely non-controversial among anyone who knows anything about science.”
