SUMMARY:Darwin Day
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Day) celebrates the life and work of Charles Darwin\, a secular holiday widely celebrated within the global community with participation from all sectors of society. Even mainline churches have participated\, celebrating the day as Evolution Sunday or Evolution Weekend (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clergy_Letter_Project#Evolution_Weekend_and_related_activities) (see the Clergy Letter Project (https://www.theclergyletterproject.org/) for details). Under any of these names\, this day celebrates the wonder and beauty of both science and humanity\, and serve to recognize and celebrate the achievements of a man who cast a bright\, explanatory light on reality\, our self-knowledge\, and on the world of which we are part. Charles Darwin contributed to our understanding at the deepest level\, forever changed how we see ourselves within this vast\, impersonal universe\, and brought us a paradigm shift of seismic proportions. He symbolizes the brave\, human enterprise of science in confronting the mystery of existence. His life and work exemplify the spirit of wonder\, curiosity and adventure along with the excitement that the quest for knowledge and understanding can provide. The Darwin Day Program (http://www.darwinday.org/)\, an educational non-profit organization\, encourages interested groups and individuals throughout the world to participate in the annual celebration of Darwin Day by coordinating events and activities in their area on or around February 12. The program also offers a year-round educational outreach project to help in reaching the goal of improving the public’s understanding of science and foster an appreciation for our shared humanity. Darwin Day\, Evolution Sunday and Evolution Weekend encourage us to come together to champion science and humanity throughout our global community. They let us celebrate the astonishing engagement of our common intelligence with the wonder and excitement of life in the universe. If you agree\, visit the National Darwin Day (http://www.darwinday.org/) site and sign the petition calling for national recognition of this day. Then\, visit Epic of Evolution (http://epicofevolution.com/) for a great adventure.
