I mean it is super slow. Millions of years for the magic to work. Come on, this is boring.
I favour creationism. Bam, god said, and there was the stuff. Much more action, much more fun.
Wanted to tell this myself to the author, but I couldn't find his Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Probably some old weirdo living in the woods without Internet and writing boring books.
For much of Charles Darwin's adult life, his health was affected by a number of symptoms, including palpitations, vomiting and attacks of melancholy which confined him to his bed. Although a definitive diagnosis was not made in Darwin's lifetime, it is now widely accepted that there was a significant psychological component to his symptoms, with some sources citing anxiety, some depression.
Why YSK: As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I find Darwin's story to be a comfort. His condition greatly affected him, but it did not define him, it is not what he is known for. If you find yourself struggling with your mental health, particularly if you can't bring yourself to get out of bed, it may help you to know that you are not alone in history: some of the greatest men and women to have ever lived struggled in similar ways, it is very possible that Darwin felt just as you do, and look at what he achieved!

Explain your answer
Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the exact same day in 1809.
Schweppes was founded in 1783 in Geneve, and later Johann Jacob Schweppe moved to London to develop the business, where it would have failed were it not for Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin and a physician himself, who started recommending the drink, which saved the company.
Beethoven could have tried it as a 13 year-old kid (but of course it wasn't a popular drink). In 1825 when he was 30 years of age he visited London for the first time, where he might have drank Schweppes, it being a popular drink.

ngl seems like something darwinist would do
like one day he's catching beetles for whatever goddamn reason and he sticks one in his mouth and he gets sprayed by it and when he gets back to the house everyone else is like 'why did you put the beetle in your mouth' and he's like '^(i wanted a snack)'
i can't spell
I heard this quote. Is this real? Can someone find a source?
