Happy Birthday, Chucky!

That's right, it's the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. The day that theists of all stripes curse.

Happy Birthday!

The National Geographic has excellent articles on Darwin & the science he initiated.




Darwin acquire his knowledge by observation, inquiry, skepticism & the ability to reject the invading delusion inducing Faith-psychosis which creates such irrational but dopamine inducing fantasies, which infects so many educated brains.
To cogitate differentiating between the real & fictional acting on the former is to be neurologically balanced aka atheist.

Christians and other folks infected with delusional beliefs think and reason like schizophrenics or temporal lobe epileptics. Their morality is dictated by an invisible friend called Jesus.

today it's darwin's, tomorrow mine's.
coincidence? i think NOT! i bet it happened for a reason!

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Well, the Holy Month of Februus dedicated to Luperci/Faun/ Penis-Christ/Vertumnus is an excellent month to be born.....I'll be LXVII the 19 of this the year 2,762 auc.

Man, time goes fast! it was not too long ago I was crawling out of a cave ( like Mithras) beginning to absorb the Spirit World. So, Darwin was born in a good month.



Can anyone imagine going around South America in something like this?

Yeah, with Johnny Depp and plenty of CGI backup.

To celebrate Charles Darwin's birthday, I went around all day made up as him, complete with long beard, bald head, scowl and paunch.

That took what, 2 minutes of combing your luxurious beard?

You are Charles' twin, ya know.
