"Darwin still a force in Britain at 200; Nation lauds him for work that transcends time" by Henry Chu, Los Angeles Times | February 13, 2009
DOWNE, England - .... Inside, the great scientist worked with inexhaustible patience in his Victorian study, staring for hours at specimens through a microscope or pondering the riddle of life. In a black armchair specially fitted with wheels, Charles Darwin wrote "On the Origin of Species," the book that changed the way we look at the world around us - and at ourselves.
For 40 years, Down House was the perfect place for Darwin to think, write, and enjoy family life out of the spotlight....
So much for retiring from public view. Today, 200 years after his birth on Feb. 12, 1809, Darwin seems to be everywhere in his native land. His bushy-bearded face graces numerous television programs exploring the impact of his ideas. Prominent Britons dissect his life and times on the radio. The city of Shrewsbury, Darwin's birthplace, is lighting up buildings at night with huge projected images and films relating to its most famous son.
Libraries, zoos, art galleries, choral groups, universities, museums, and, a little ironically, churches own a piece of the extravaganza celebrating Darwin's bicentennial, a yearlong series of 300 events that make up one of the most extensive national commemorations of a single person ever to be held in this country.
That may only be fitting for someone whose revolutionary theory of how life evolved leaped over the boundaries of pure science and into so many other spheres - politics, religion, economics, the arts.
And don't forget RACISM, Zionist MSM!
"It's difficult to overstate how pervasive Darwin's work is," said Robert M. Bloomfield, coordinator of the umbrella organization Darwin200 and head of special projects at London's Natural History Museum. "He undoubtedly produced the biggest idea in science in the 19th century and, some people say, of all time. Because when you question your relationship to nature, you question everything."
GLOBAL WARMING FART-MISTERS!!!!!!
A recent editorial by The Times of London went so far as to argue this: "Darwin is not merely a man of his time. The extent of his achievement gives him a plausible claim to be counted the greatest figure in this nation's history."
Is that really something to be proud of?
That a scientist whose ideas still rile conservative religious groups can be so effusively feted is a testament to how secular Britain is, at least in the public square.....
There is your agenda-pushing aspect to the item!
