New Jersey Congressman Blasts Biblical Creation, Proposes National ‘Darwin Day’ Holiday
Washington, DC – A New Jersey Congressman has proposed a bill in the House of Representatives to designate February 12th as national Darwin Day.
Representative Rush Holt, a Democrat and a professing Quaker, recently submitted the proposal to Congress as a way to honor Darwin, who he calls “an amazingly creative man.”
“Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by the mechanism of natural selection, together with the monumental amount of scientific evidence he compiled to support it, provides humanity with a logical and intellectually compelling explanation for the diversity of life on Earth,” he wrote in the text of the bill. “The validity of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is further strongly supported by the modern understanding of the science of genetics.”
“It has been the human curiosity and ingenuity exemplified by Darwin that has promoted new scientific discoveries that have helped humanity solve many problems and improve living conditions,” he continued. “The advancement of science must be protected from those unconcerned with the adverse impacts of global warming and climate change.”
