Giving the Ensign Credit Where Credit is Due
A few weeks ago I criticized the Ensign for running a story about the Galápagos that mentioned science, talked about ecology, but did not mention Charles Darwin. Today on LDS.org I noticed an accompanying photo gallery that included this picture and caption:

This sculpture is near the entrance to the Charles Darwin Research Station in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, where much of the Galápagos Islands research takes place, such as how to restore the islands to their natural conditions and raising baby tortoises.
So here we get a mention of his name, as well as a sculpture of his face. I think my original criticism still has some legitimacy, but this picture and caption place it in a new context, and the Church magazines deserve credit. I am happy to give them that credit.
