No one has to be an atheist to understand the truth of evolution.

Happy 205th birthday to the man that took brilliant observations on natural history and expounded on the origin of biodiversity, forever changing not only the realm of biology, but science as a whole.

Charles Darwin: "...from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

A Dynamic Earth (click here)
Earth's surface is constantly changing. Mountains are built and rivers cut canyons through them. Wind and water carry rock away and deposit it in new locations. Volcanoes erupt, burying former surfaces under new layers of rock. Flat layers become faulted and folded. Everywhere you look, you can find rocks that show evidence of past geologic events.

Evolution is a survival response to a very dynamic Earth. Darwin never hated god.

Responsible conservation includes the return of recovered animals to their habitat.
