America's got a Darwin problem - and it matters. According to a 2009 Gallup poll taken on the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, fewer than 40% of Americans are willing to say that they 'believe in evolution.'

Kenneth R. Miller

If I had to pick a hero, it would be Charles Darwin--the size of his mind, which included all that scientific curiosity and knowledge seeking, and the ability to put it all together. There is a genuine spirituality about Darwin's thinking.

Ursula K. Le Guin

When most of us hear the phrase, 'survival of the fittest,' we assume it originated with Charles Darwin. It did not. The phrase doesn't exist anywhere in Darwin's first edition of 'Origin of the Species.'

Joel A. Barker

Evolution was Vladimir Ilich Lenin's problem. Lenin lead the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and took over Russia. He killed the Zar [ sic ] and his family in cold blood. There would not be communism in Russia today if had not been for Charles Darwin's book on evolution.

Kent Hovind

How do you know that God didn't speak to Charles Darwin?

Jack Lemmon

Charles Darwin [is my personal favorite Fellow of the Royal Society]. I suppose as a physical scientist I ought to have chosen Newton. He would have won hands down in an IQ test, but if you ask who was the most attractive personality then Darwin is the one you'd wish to meet. Newton was solitary and reclusive, even vain and vindictive in his later years when he was president of the society.

Martin Rees

It was Herbert Spencer, not Charles Darwin, who coined the phrase Survival of the Fittest.

John Kenneth Galbraith

All the professors in all the religious colleges in this country rolled into one, would not equal Charles Darwin.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.

Mao Zedong

Communism has nothing to do with love. Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy.

Mao Zedong

Smoking crack is a way for people who couldn't afford college to study the works of Charles Darwin.

P. J. O'Rourke

Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record more as an embarrassment than as an aid to his theory.

Stephen Jay Gould

There's a sense in which Marx does contribute to the fund of human knowledge, and we can no more dismiss him than we can [George] Hegel or [Jean-Jacques] Rousseau or [Baruch] Spinoza or [Charles] Darwin; you don't have to be a Darwinian to appreciate Darwin's views, and I don't have to be a Marxist to appreciate what is valid in a number of [Karl] Marx's writings-and Marx would call that a form of simple commodity production rather than capitalism.
