Charles Darwin, famous British naturalist and one of the most important scientists of evolutionary theory, was born on February 12, 1809. This marks the 201st year since Darwin’s birth, and the 151st year since the publication of his most famous work, The Origin of Species.
The Drexel Freethought Society would like to take a moment to acknowledge this important freethinker. His work on the theory of natural selection revolutionized the way we view the natural world. Today, over 150 years after Darwin published his theories, our society continues to debate evolution. Skepticism and debate are important in a free society. The DFS encourages everyone to think critically about these important issues and utilize the full power of logic, reason, and science.
