Creation Myth Quotes

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill Picture Quote #1

Darwinism has become our culture’s official creation myth, protected by a priesthood as dogmatic as any religious curia Picture Quote #1
