I did a little research to see if Darwin could have taken the peppered moth photos if he tried and read this:
"However, not all people welcomed this exciting invention; some pundits viewed in quite sinister terms. A newspaper report in the Leipzig City Advertiser stated:
"The wish to capture evanescent reflections is not only impossible... but the mere desire alone, the will to do so, is blasphemy. God created man in His own image, and no man- made machine may fix the image of God. Is it possible that God should have abandoned His eternal principles, and allowed a Frenchman... to give to the world an invention of the Devil?"
***somehow, I think that's perfect in this forum.

Its interesting that some people seem to devote so much time to prove that a group of people are so wrong in their beliefs. Why would that be ? I'm still trying to figure that one out. Is it to "convert" them, put them "in their place" , show the world how smart we are, or is it "fear" for some reason?
