Happy Birthday Darwin!
2/12/11
The last few days have been full of famous birthdays (as Google so conveniently alerts me with their fancy search doodles) - Jules Verne, Thomas Edison, and now Charles Darwin have all celebrated their birthdays (born in 1828, 1847, and 1809 respectively).
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
-Charles Darwin

Nice work, Trav! I would also add to Darwin's statement (though I have nowhere near the reputation): "it is also those who know little, not those who know much, who so confidently assert that science will solve all our problems. There is much in the world that can save us from hubris, if we but pay attention.”
