    A Darwin day? I'd like to remind you people that evolution is only a theory, but this story shows that for some Evolutionists it is indeed a religion. This is crazy. Do we have a Newton day when we sing together and celebrate gravitation? No, because there are no Gravitationists like there are Evolutionists. And before you flame me for saying the obvious, ask yourself a question: who is worse, a religious nut praying to his God, or another religious nut praying to Darwin? Who is stupider? Who is more close-minded? This is an interesting question.

      the only reason there are no Gravitationists like there are Evolutionists (as you say it), is simply because gravitational theory does not directly contradict people's religious beliefs like the theory of evolution does. Evolutionists are evolutionists because anti-evolutionists call them evolutionists instead of calling them what they call themselves, biologists.
