More than a marble Darwin could stand.
Well there I was minding my own business in the Cafe of the Natural History Museum when I overheard that some American has had the nerve to make a film called Expelled traducing natural selection and championing something called �intelligent design�. I thought we had settled Mr Paley�s watchmaker nonsense in 1859.
I am used to bad reviews: I was much savaged in the press when I published The Origin of Species, but Expelled holds me responsible for a particularly vile chapter of genocide which occurred in the 1930s and 40s. I do not recall advocating genocide, indeed distinctly remember writing with anguish about the massacres of the Indians in South America during my voyage on HMS Beagle. Could it be that my critics have formed opinions about my work without actually reading it? Surely not.
Only a few posts so far but it was only started on April 25th.
Looking forward to some wonderful reading.
