fastortoise Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLES!!! This pioneer turned 200 years old this Thursday, and many biologists at my college are celebrating. His book "On the Origin of Species" has been published almost 150 years ago (it's anniversary is in a couple of months), and still scientists debate and discover new material from it to this day. So thanks for evolution and everything Darwin, and have a happy birthday! \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Dude Lion, your avatar = the awesome. He ushered in a new scientific age, certainly worth celebrating a bicentennial.

Intriguing Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ok,so this year,Julius Caesar would be 2109 Years old Jesus would be 2009 Saladin would be 819 years old, So the real question is,so what? The direct effects of Darwin's work are seen much more readily in our modern society than those of Julius Caesar and Saladin. In addition, as a society, we place a lot of value on significant dates, e.g. anniversaries of 10, 100, 1000 years. 2109 and 819 years aren't "significant" in that sense. As for Jesus, many people celebrate his birth every year. And by the way, Jesus was supposedly born between 6 and 4BCE, not 0(B)CE. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm confused as to why people are complaining about celebrating Darwin's birthday, he published the most revolutionary book in modern times, had the guts to publish his book and go against the word of christianity, his peers and even his wife were against his views. Darwin's book radically changed life as we know it in ways that we probably do not see a link to. The origins book was not only incredibly revolutionary, but it was simple, far more simple than any of the other papers around the time exploring the same theory, he made his book readable for the everyday man.
