Great & timely article to read when mainstream newspapers in India give no such importance to Charles Darwin. Darwin started this as theory after his voyage on Beagle but was proved right at many stages in the last 200 years.

For example this video of Royal Society tries to prove Darwin's theory as true.

"Why creationism is wrong and evolution is right" by
Prof. Steven Jones.

It's unthinkable that somebody up there 'creates' & controls trillions trillions and trillions of chemical reactions everyday in this un-spottable little speck of this earth among huge collections of starts, galaxies that're incinerating for some unknown ages.

It's equally stupid that creator of this huge Universe also created life on earth.

Thank you Dr jee for this article.

I enjoyed reading your article. I also saw your article (It is Darwin Time: Will We Accept IT?) at www.sacw.net of January 12, 2009, with a note at the end "An edited version appeared in Dawn." I had a different experience. A few years ago, I checked with an editor (who had published a couple of my articles earlier on) of a renowned Daily in Pakistan if he would consider publishing an article about Darwin's theory authored by me. I didn't get any response.
It is about time that indifference towards science in general and towards Darwin's theory in particular vanished from Pakistan.
Please try to publish this article in some other prominent newspaper(s) in Pakistan also. For the good of Pakistan.
