Happy Birthday Charles Darwin!

He is 200 years old today.
Did you know he was around at the same time Lincoln was around?
He was born 12 February 1809.
He was a rural cleric.
Darwin Did not Invent the Phrase "Survival of the Fittest" (That was Herbert Spencer, a philosopher and contemporary of Charles Darwin.)
Darwin was not an atheist, but watching how other christians treated slaves shook his faith. After his daughter died from scarlet fever, he became agnostic.
