Charles Darwin, a British naturalist, published "On the Origin of Species." It was the paper in which he explained his theory of evolution through the process of natural selection.

Just thought you should know. I wonder if Darwin (forum member) knows this...

I think we should have a Alfred Wegener day. Darwin got really really popular, but Alfred was ostracised and died considered a fraud. We should have days to celebrate the geniuses who aren't glorified in all our science books.

But uh, happy Darwin day.

He proposed the theory of Continental Drift. Of course, most everyone just laughed at him at the time.

Bleh, I've just given up on trying to think up signatures.

Alfred did propose that the continents just trawled through the sea bed. It was a little silly.

Go Darwin. He's cool.

He proposed something very similar to reality, and far more accurate than the static continental theory. He also came up with lunar craters being caused by impact. Smart guy.


By the way,

Quote: "Charles Darwin, a British naturalist"


Actually, Darwin was a Christian till his death; though he pretty much said the Bible was myth by the end of his life, he never revoked his religion or the idea that the world was ultimatly created by god.

Unless I am missing something, my friend Google says Darwin day is his birthday, the 12th of February. Erm. Then again did anyone actually say that today is Darwin day. Aha.... confused....

Who the hell celebrates Darwin day anyways? Pretty positive it isn't us, and he was born here. That or we don't give a damn

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Funny thing them moon craters... In 'The Man who Sold the Moon' which I recently read, it said something about the craters not possibly being caused by impact of space debris.. Because for example.. by calculation it stated, one of the craters would have had to have been caused by a super tiny comet traveling at a speed that would have blown up the moon...

I wonder if it's true, however, being a sci-fi and all the author could have pulled it out of his arse.. and I've not seen any google info on it.. Makes ya think

Probably nonsense science, not that it's impossible they weren't caused by impact... it's just the most likely thing we can think of right now ...

Aye to that, I'd have to see the math before I commit to the "Lakes that dried up and atmosphere that disappeared and destroyed planet caused by nuclear meltdown of uber-sci-fi-sh nuclear fusion reactor meltdown and planet crushing explosion" theory

did you know earthquakes are constantly happening on the moon due to the stresses it goes through from earths gravitational pull...?
