Charles Darwin was born in England on the 12th February 1809 and he spent his life understanding and studying evolution. His work was a major contributor to our present understanding of evolutionary science. Over 200 years have passed. Yet, in the UK today, we still have religious groups, schools and zoos (!) 'teaching' children twisted and obviously wrong myths. Parents are forcing their religious beliefs on to children and these failings should be countered by a factual, scientific state education system. These outdated institutional behemoths are misleading young minds from a path of evidence based science and study, stifling potential. We should be arming school children with facts and science that will help them form the basis of a humanist mind. Maybe then we can move towards a more balanced, intelligent version of a society instead of the myth-based, tradition obsessed hotch-potch that we suffer today. #moveforward #factsnotfiction
