On February 12 we’ll commemorate the anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, a celebration around the world known as Darwin Day, to appreciate the advancement of human knowledge and the achievements of science and reason. It must also be a day when we push back against the politicization and undermining of science by ideologues and zealots. . .
Unfortunately, too many politicians are gripped by an anti-science fervor. . .
Last year, [Representative Pete Stark (D-CA) California’s 13th district and the only self-described non-theist in Congress] introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives to designate February 12 as Darwin Day in recognition of Charles Darwin as a worthy symbol of the achievements and importance of reason, science, and the advancement of human knowledge.
Always Question Authority
One of the beginnings of human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority. ~ Hitchens

I “personally” know of a blogger who “always questions authority” with a birthday on the same date that replies, “thank you, Happy Darwin Day” when wished a Happy Birthday, but I shall not mention any names.
I can’t think of a more deserving day,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE!
