And, for the record, there are many nooks and crannies in Westminster as you well know, and to deny that Darwin is buried in a prominent place is really denying reality, whatever your views on evolution, God and creation.

And again for the record, he's not buried in a particularly prominant place at all -- as my own feet will attest.

Darwin was buried at Westminster because of the political connections of his "bulldog," pallbearer, and the avowed humanist-atheist, Thomas Huxley. The COE actually had little if anything to do with it.

Who said anything about starting a crevo thread? If you choose to splooge Darwin's name rapturously onto a thread about Benjamin Frankiln of all things, be prepared to have someone like me let the air out of your mentally ejaculative love fest with Darwin.

I merely set the record straight about how Darwin happens to be interred and exactly how he happens to be there at all.

Again, my point was about the English character and the seeming contradictions in their celebrations of individuals. I report, you decide. And, to be buried in the floor of a church or cathedral is an honor (eg, have a walk down the aisle in Christ Church, Philadelphia).
