Charles Darwin actually started a new belief system, it was ground breaking in that one now had a scientific out not to believe in God.
To me he is no different than Mohamed or Joseph Smith.
It's interesting that the person that started the belief structure that has lead to mass atheism, was mentally ill.

Just because you asume that he was STILL 5 times smarter doesnt mean that his theory is undisputed the right one.

One tiny problem with your post: Evolution has evidence backing it, so not only is religion wrong, but it was proven wrong by an mentally ill human being, which says a lot about religion as a whole.

That's a pretty weak way to accept a scientific theory. I mean, come on, filling in the gaps of evolution with "god did it"? That's such a religious cop out. You can't just accept a scientific theory over a religious belief, and then turn around and incorporate a religious belief into it.

This is a rather unfair statement. Evolution does not disprove religion, it only disproves some creation myths, the ones that state god made each and every animal separately, but it does not disprove god, nor creation. A person could believe in a god and simply believe that he/she/it set Evolution in motion.
This coming from an atheist btw

Actually it must suck knowing you are going to die and never have an original thought, or leave anything useful behind.
Now that would make me suicidal.
For some reason I won't let me edit my post, so I have to do it this way.

One tiny problem with your post: Evolution has evidence backing it, whereas creationism doesn't, so not only is evolution far more credible than creationism will ever be, but it was founded by a mentally ill human being. If the founder of evolution was mentally ill which says a lot about creationism.

In this abysmal state the guy tells you about the supposed "origin of species" and that we are the result of a chain of coincidences arising from dead matter.
