The Religion of Charles Darwin

[Update: Whoops--I forgot the link. It is fixed.]

Carl Zimmer has posted a discussion of Charles Darwin's views on religion. I recognized much of the material from his book, Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea. (See the sidebar for a link to my review of the book.) It is worth reading--Zimmer beautifully tells a tale of pain and heartbreak which, perhaps, will make some view Darwin in a more human, and understandable, light.

"It is a disservice to Darwin, and to history, to turn his tortured, complex life into a talking point in a culture war."

Bonus: Zimmer briefly responds to Sen. Buttars' op-ed.
